> refuse to connect directly websites protected by cloudflare

What do you do in case you want to use a website protected by cloudflare?



There are many ways to do this, most utilizing some kind of proxy-like architecture for all requests, or just to retrieve cookies. My personal favorite for retrieving cookies is FlareSolverr.

For strictly reading public webpages, public paywall bypass tools and archive sites work pretty well.


Thank you!


Since this is a ridiculous troll, so generally speaking the only way to address this to visit the site from a local library, then immolate the computer with thermite and explode the remainder with TNT.


Not trolling, just extremely conscientious about privacy and security, far outside cultural norms / overton window, though frankly, that's not saying much in an age where almost everyone has smart assistants all over their house, insurance companies tracking accelerometer/gyro/gps data from every drive they take, and exclusively chat on systems produced by major corporations that are logging everything indefinitely and eaglerly cooperating with law enforcement / intelligence community without even requiring warrants for data requests - almost all closed source and with a client-server architecture with no way of even auditing how much is being recorded, whether any of these companies are actually honoring their privacy policies or not, etc.

I understand that trust by default is an enormous aspect of our economy, and trust may be characterized as the single most valuable commodity, but my work involves adopting a strict zero trust mindset, and it can be difficult to turn that off after so many years.
