    Also, that website uses Cloudflare to “protect” itself, risking reliability for no good reason at all.

      Am i missing something? It seems like they are only trying a DNS redirect. I am not a fan of those or of Cloudflare, but in the scheme of things that seems relatively benign. On Android that’s easily blocked by my firewall rules.

      I’m no expert and would like to be educated on this.

          Yes it does, what does that have to do with what I asked? I do appreciate your downvote when I asked a legitimate question.

            I’m not exactly a fan of irregular downvotes, actually.

            What I’m saying is: a website that relies on any Cloudflare service will have an outage when Cloudflare does. Cloudflare adds a single point of failure heee, and in my opinion that’s irresponsible.

              Yet you did it anyway. I didn’t downvote you, I only asked a question to learn more.

              I still have not learned anything about this.

              I agree with you about Cloudflare gatekeeping. I also use Tor or Orbot, so Cloudflare is a pain in the ass.
