Re: Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics

piuk, you shure you want to have your site behind cloudflare and let them do an authorized MITM on your users?
Putting your site behind cloudflare is throwing away all the security you've built.

At the moment there isn't any other choice. The datacenter blockchain is currently hosted at simply doesn't have the infrastructure to handle a ddos attack that size.

But cloudflare could still not access the private keys if one is using the plugin, right? Or could they still inject malicious javascript?

Cloudflare can modify any page content on transit if it's being routed trough them.
That's one of the reasons I mostly use them for DNS only and not for their CDN/reverse-proxy capabilities. On-the-fly censorship comes to mind Wink

Don't get me wrong, Cloudflare is a great service and I use them myself as stated earlier. But using all their capabilities is something that will scare even the mildest privacy concerned individual.
