| Cloudflare sits between you and origin webserver, acting like a [border patrol agent](https://www.cbp.gov/careers/bpa). You are not able to connect to your chosen destination. You are connecting to Cloudflare and all your information is being decrypted and handed over on the fly. | ![](../image/border_patrol.jpg) |
| The origin webserver administrator allowed the agent - Cloudflare - to decide [who can access](https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitlab.com/iblech/tor-appeal/issues/1) to their "_web property_" and define "_restricted area_". | ![](../image/usershoulddecide.jpg) |
| Take a look at the right image. You will think Cloudflare block _only_ [bad guys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hat_(computer_security)). You will think _Cloudflare is always online(never go [down](https://twitter.com/bengoldacre/status/1146058200887648258))_. You will think _legit bots and [crawlers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler) can index your website_. | ![](../image/howcfwork.jpg) |
-| However [those are not true](../PEOPLE.md) at all. Cloudflare is blocking innocent people with no reason. Cloudflare can go down. Cloudflare blocks legit bots. | ![](../image/cfdowncfcom.jpg) |
+| However [those are not true](../PEOPLE.md) at all. Cloudflare is blocking innocent people with no reason. Cloudflare [can go down](../HISTORY.md#user-content-cloudflare-incidents). Cloudflare blocks legit bots. | ![](../image/cfdowncfcom.jpg) |
| Just like any [hosting service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_hosting_service), Cloudflare is not perfect. You will see this screen [even if the origin server is working well](../PEOPLE.md). | ![](../image/cfdown2019.jpg) |
| Do you really think Cloudflare has 100% [uptime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uptime)? [You have no idea](../PEOPLE.md) how many times Cloudflare [goes down](https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/major-part-web-offline-cloudflare-suffers-outage). If Cloudflare goes down your customer cannot access your website. | ![](../image/cloudflareinternalerror.jpg)<br>![](../image/cloudflareoutage-2020.jpg) |
| It is called this in reference to the [Great Firewall of China](https://www.comparitech.com/privacy-security-tools/blockedinchina/) which does a comparable job of [filtering out many humans](../PEOPLE.md) from seeing web content (ie everyone in [mainland China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China) and people outside) while at the same time those not affected to see a dratically different web, a web free of [censorship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship) such as an image of ["tank man"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man) and the history of ["Tiananmen Square protests"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests#Censorship_in_China). | ![](../image/cloudflarechina.jpg) |
