@fauli1221 It's funny to see that even Stoat.Chat is blocked (or rather slowed down) in Russia.

But most likely, it's just a "happy coincidence" that Stoat.Chat is located on CloudFlare / Amazon / Fastly / <Enter any European popular hoster>, which for some reason the RKN considers unsafe resources.

@Ponywka @fauli1221 just checked it... Cloudflare... meh. Why is everyone nowadays using Cloudflare for absolutely everything?

@interru @Ponywka Simple: Unlimited traffic for free (until they hit you with ToS violations, sales representatives and vice versa).

@interru @fauli1221 Improving the accessibility of web resources for the whole world.

For example, previously, by hosting my website on a home server and proxying it through CloudFlare, I not only hid my home's real IP address, but also increased the website's accessibility for other countries, because, for example, in Ukraine, it is impossible to open websites hosted on Russian IP addresses (this also works in reverse), and the website's loading speed in distant countries also increases, because CloudFlare has a larger channel than my provider.

Oh yes... I forgot to add that it's also completely free (at least for the basic settings, they don't require your debit card details).

@Ponywka @fauli1221 Those are arguments for CDN's and WAF. There are more than just Cloudflare.

That it's free is a valid argument, though.

I, personally, find it horrifying that 1/5 of all websites are using Cloudflare. We took all the effort to encrypt HTTP, and then Cloudflare came along and created a huge single point of failure. I would be surprised if US authorities don't tap into that.
