Fight Cloudflare with Arweave
Cloudflare breaks SSL encryption and acts as a man-in-the-middle to see all passwords. But Arweave is a solution
Our new website is on Arweave, a solution to Cloudflare.
Let’s break it down:
Problem:
Cloudflare breaks SSL encryption and acts as a man-in-the-middle to see all passwords. And by seeing the bulk of all traffic, they are able to do mass surveillance.
Issue:
When you bring up getting off Cloudflare with website creators, they say “But what about DDoS?”. And then you’re just directing them to less centralized alternatives, which could become the “next cloudflare” if they got popular.
Solution:
Arweave is on-chain data storage functioning similar to Bitcoin Ordinals (but it scales).
ArIO is a brand-new testnet of global gateways for Arweave, to serve this content.
How’s it work?
On ArIO’s blockchain you buy a name, for example I’m “Privacy”.
Then instead of pointing your domain to an IP address like traditional DNS, you point it to the Arweave hash of your upload.
Then to access your content, users just put:
“your name” . “Gateway’s DNS”
For example: privacy.gateway

Unprecedented Freedom
Usually you just have to obey whatever the website operator wants. But now, you can not only pick the jurisdiction and ISP you’ll receive the content from, but also be able to self-host your own gateway. Never before have we seen this level of freedom. It’s unprecedented that you can self-host to pick the terms of where to receive someone else’s website.
Just think of the privacy and censorship benefits.
Good luck trying to DDoS me.
