Every single CDN provider works this way, and the internet as we know it wouldn’t work without them. If you don’t like that Cloudflare works this way then you should be upset at Amazon, Akamai, Google, Fastly, and many others as well.
Edit: For all of you downvoting me, if I am wrong then please enlighten me as to how CDNs operate without being able to decrypt your browsers traffic.
Bullshit. I work on a daily basis with Akamai, providing CDN, WAF, image optimization, and other services across roughly a dozen domains. Those services are all fully in-line with the domains in question. No need for a third party domain. We’ve also evaluated Cloudflare to see if the cost savings would justify migrating from Akamai.

Um, no they don’t. They typically provide a third party domain the website includes stuff from.
Cloudflare also does that, but it’s not the issue here.

I guess Akamai is a creep too then.
