- Direct Tor cloud connection

What's the .onion address?

From what I understand, you can connect to the site without going through a 3d party exit point. In other words, Cloudflare acts as a Tor exit point (And it's aeady an HTTPS proxy):

Tor client -> Tor Network (CloudFlare) ->

Instead of

Tor client -> Tor Network -> Clear Internet -> CloudFlare ->

What's the .onion address?

I need to experiment with this. Not the 1st priority, though.

But there is no way a server can choose the exit node for any client, unless the server directly hosts the site inside the onion network, so there won't be any exit from the network.

I have been using Opera with no issues at all.

Here's some statistics for the last 2 days:

Almost 60% requests are cached:

       

Bandwidth-wise it's not that effective, because all forum attachments are served directly:

       

But still, 24% (aeady 25%!!!) is saved:

   

43.05% HTTP/3
40.87% HTTP/2
15.87% HTTP/1.1 (where from? why?)

Whoa...... Looks like I've just "hacked" MyBB attachment system.... All attachments are cached now, hence can be downloaded by non-registered users.

It should dramatically increase the speed of everything and decrease the server load. Yes, at the cost of attachment authorization, but since the server load will not be increased, even if someone decides to rip the site completely, I'm fine with it. Also, Google might cache the full images, not just the thumbnails.

Let's see what happens...

All attachments are cached now, hence can be downloaded by non-registered users.

In other words, if someone opens an attachment, the rest will have almost immediate access to it, the server will not be even contacted.

The side effect - the attachment access hit counts will not be updated.

Also, apparently, Cloudflare solved that old unfixable "media error" issue":

I noticed that ruffle comes on much faster when playing games.

Yes!

BTW, going to upgrade it.

And I will add cache for games.
