歷史
編輯Cloudflare由三個曾為Project Honey Pot工作的工程師Matthew Prince、Lee Holloway和Michelle Zatlyn於2009年創立,最終在[2][3]2010年9月舉行的TechCrunch Disrupt大賽上首度公開出現。
2011年,駭客組織LulzSec使用Cloudflare的產品保護它的網站不被他人攻擊,並在Twitter上讚揚此公司。Cloudflare因此於當年6月受到傳媒留意。[4][5]
2011年7月,Cloudflare宣布來自恩頤投資、文洛克創投及珀利翁風投夥伴的新一輪風險融資已經完成,金額為2000萬美元。[6][7]
2012年6月,Cloudflare與數家虛擬主機提供者(包括 HostPapa)建立合作夥伴關係,以實作其Railgun技術。
2012 年 6 月,駭客組織UGNazi 利用Google帳號驗證程序的缺陷入侵Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince的企業信箱,以此篡改著名社區網站4chan的Cloudflare帳號密碼並將它的DNS指向該組織的Twitter主頁。[8][9]
2012年12月,Cloudflare得到來自合廣投資及其他現有投資方的C輪融資,其金額為5000萬美元。[10]
2014年2月,Cloudflare減緩了當時有記錄以來規模最大的DDoS攻擊,針對未揭露之客戶的攻擊流量最高達每秒400 Gbit。在2014年11月,Cloudflare報告了另一個大規模DDoS攻擊,該次攻擊對獨立媒體網站的流量為每秒500Gbit[11]。
2014年2月,Cloudflare宣布收購反病毒企業StopTheHacker。[12]
2014年6月,Cloudflare宣布收購CryptoSeal公司。[13]
2014年6月下旬,佔領中環投票網站popvote.hk於2014年6月14日遭受DDoS攻擊,攻擊流量峰值達到300 Gbit/s,Cloudflare作為其內容分發網絡服務的提供者,使用DNS沉洞緩解了此攻擊[14]。
2019年9月6日,維基百科受到DDoS攻擊。歐洲用戶有幾個小時無法訪問維基百科[15]。在維基媒體網絡工程師使用Cloudflare的網絡和 DDoS 保護服務重新路由和過濾互聯網流量後,攻擊得到緩解[16]。使用的特定 Cloudflare 產品是 Magic Transit[17]。
併購
編輯在2014年6月,Cloudflare併購了由Ryan Lackey所創立的CryptoSeal,意欲藉此交易延伸其Web使用者安全性服務。在2014年2月,它併購了StopTheHacker,這家公司提供惡意程式碼偵測、自動惡意程式碼移除,以及信譽與黑名單監視服務。在2016年12月,Cloudflare併購了Eager,並透過此次併購升級了Cloudflare的應用程序平台,以支援使用拖放方式將第三方應用程序安裝到使用Cloudflare服務的網站[18]。在2017年底,Cloudflare收購了Neumob,一間手機VPN初創企業。[19]在2022年2月,Cloudflare收購了Area 1 Security,並透過其技術保護企業免受基於電子郵件的安全威脅。[20]
服務
編輯DDoS保護
編輯Cloudflare為所有客戶提供「我正遭受攻擊模式(I'm Under Attack)」設定。Cloudflare宣稱這樣可要求使用者必須先通過JavaScript計算式查問的驗證才能存取網站,進而減輕進階第7層攻擊的影響。Cloudflare所提供的保護使得Spamhaus免於流量超過每秒300 Gbit的DDoS攻擊。Akamai的首席結構設計師將它稱為「有史以來網際網路上規模最大的公開DDoS攻擊」。據說Cloudflare當時吸收了峰值超過每秒400 Gbit的NTP校時服務放大攻擊(NTP Reflection Attack) [21]。
網頁應用程式防火牆
編輯Cloudflare預設可讓付費方案客戶使用Web應用程式防火牆;此防火牆具有OWASP ModSecurity核心規則集與Cloudflare自有規則集,以及常見Web應用程式規則集。[22]
網域名稱伺服器
編輯Cloudflare為所有客戶提供具有任一傳播網路的免費網域名稱伺服器(DNS)。根據W3Cook,Cloudflare的DNS服務目前所服務的對象超過受管理DNS網域的35%。SolveDNS發現Cloudflare能持續提供全球數一數二的 DNS 查閱速度,在2016年4月回報的查閱速度為8.66毫秒。[23]
公共DNS解析器
編輯2018年4月1日,Cloudflare推出了面向使用者,聲稱「私隱第一」的域名系統解析服務。
IP位置爲1.1.1.1
和1.0.0.1
。IPv6位置爲2606:4700:4700::1111
和2606:4700:4700::1001
。
由於其所使用的地址塊原來屬於未分配的地址塊,部分網絡會使用該地址作為內部認證系統或測試系統地址,所以可能會導致用戶無法正常訪問該地址或導致被惡意流量攻擊。[24]
2018年11月11日,Cloudflare推出了1.1.1.1解析器的手機應用程式,可在iOS和Android設備下載。
Cloudflare的其中一個主要功能是他們扮演網頁流量的反向代理角色。Cloudflare支援新的網頁通訊協定,包括HTTP/2[25]與HTTP/3[26]。此外,Cloudflare還提供針對HTTP/2 Server Push的支援。Cloudflare也支援Websocket的代理處理。[27]
內容分發網路
編輯Cloudflare的網路在全球擁有許多連線到網際網路交換點的連線。Cloudflare會將內容快取到其邊緣位置,以扮演內容提供網路(CDN)的角色,所有要求接著會透過Cloudflare進行反向Proxy處理,並直接從Cloudflare提供快取的內容。[28]
中國大陸服務
編輯Cloudflare推出了中國大陸地區的服務,幫助所有企業改善他們的互聯網應用的性能及安全並擴展其全球業務。Cloudflare最初以百度為合作夥伴,但之後轉而與京東雲合作。Cloudflare和京東雲的合作節點預計將在2023年擴展到中國大陸的150個地點。[29]但用戶網站必須取得ICP備案,並且必須購買Enterprise服務才可使用,而且中國大陸的網絡不支持任播。
Project Galileo
編輯爲回應對藝術組織、人道救援機構和反政府組織等目標的攻擊,在2014年,Cloudflare推出了Project Galileo,希望可以透過其服務爲這些組織的網站提供網絡攻擊保護和性能提升,確保網站長期在線。
域名註冊商
編輯在2019年,Cloudflare宣佈提供域名註冊服務,以不抽利潤的最低價提供域名註冊服務,聲稱只會收取它們需付的費用。[30]
Cloudflare Access
編輯2018年,Cloudflare宣佈提供Cloudflare Access服務,讓員工無需使用虛擬私人網絡(VPN)就能透過一次性密碼、GitHub、Azure Active Directory、G Suite或SAML等登入,安全存取公司內部網絡。
服務在少於50個使用者的環境使用爲免費,超出後每個使用者每月收費5美金。[31][32]
WARP
編輯2019年4月1日,Cloudflare宣佈提供虛擬私人網絡服務,名爲WARP (頁面存檔備份,存於網際網路檔案館),可在Android及iOS設備的1.1.1.1軟件使用,現已支援電腦設備Windows及macOS和Linux。[33]
爭議
編輯Cloudflare因其為恐怖主義、網絡犯罪和仇恨言論提供遮蔽而面臨爭議,其中包括伊斯蘭國、塔利班、緬甸軍政府、新納粹等極端組織,也包括群體槍擊案罪犯[34][35][36][37][38][39],它引用言論自由為自己辯護。[40][41] 許多有爭議的網站使用Cloudflare,包括The Daily Stormer和8chan[42],Cloudflare因為其堅持網絡中立性的政策受到批評[43]。
恐怖主義
編輯赫芬頓郵報記錄了Cloudflare為美國國務院指定[36][38]的 「至少7個恐怖組織」提供服務,包括塔利班、索馬里青年黨、阿克薩烈士旅、哈馬斯和巴勒斯坦聖城旅。Cloudflare至少從2012年起就知道了,但沒有採取任何行動。然而,據Cloudflare的首席執行官稱,沒有任何執法機構要求該公司停止這些服務[44]。伊斯蘭國的兩個在線論壇以及近四十個網站都由Cloudflare遮蔽[44]。
群體槍擊案
編輯2019年,Cloudflare因向貼圖討論版8chan提供服務而受到批評,該板塊允許用戶發布和討論任何內容,網站管理員幾乎不做干預。該留言板與美國的大規模槍擊事件和新西蘭基督城清真寺槍擊案有關[45][46][47][48]。此外,包括《華盛頓郵報》和《The Daily Dot》在內的一些新聞機構報道了兒童色情和兒童性虐待討論板的存在[48][49][50]。 BBC援引Cloudflare代表的話稱,該平台「不託管所提及的網站,不能封鎖網站,也不從事隱藏託管非法內容的公司的業務」。[51] 2019年埃爾帕索槍擊案發生後接受《衛報》採訪時,首席執行官Matthew Prince為Cloudflare對8chan的支持辯護,稱他有「道德義務」讓該網站保持在線。[52]之後迫於公眾和法律壓力,Cloudflare才終止了對8chan的服務。[52]
客戶
編輯直至2017年,Cloudflare提供DNS服務給1200萬個網站,[53]每日增加兩萬使用者。[54]其中著名的網站包括Uber、OKCupid與Fitbit。[55]

Cloudflare is facing accusations that it’s providing cybersecurity protection for at least seven terrorist organizations—a situation that some legal experts say could put it in legal jeopardy.

The organizations we looked at run the gamut from white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and chapters of the Ku Klux Klan to groups dedicated to stripping the rights of immigrants and LGBT people. We found 151 tech companies currently offering services to the websites on this list. While the overwhelming majority of companies only worked with one or two sites, some names came up again and again. Cloudflare, which provides protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks, works with the second largest number of sites, 56.

Among Cloudflare’s customers are groups that are on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations, including al-Shabab, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, al-Quds Brigades, the Kurdistan Workers』 Party (PKK), al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade and Hamas — as well as the Taliban, which, like the other groups, is sanctioned by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). These organizations own and operate active websites that are protected by Cloudflare, according to four national security and counterextremism experts. In the United States, it’s a crime to knowingly provide tangible or intangible "material support" to a designated foreign terrorist organization or to provide service to an OFAC-sanctioned entity without special permission. Cloudflare, which is not authorized by the OFAC to do business with such organizations, has been informed on multiple occasions, dating back to at least 2012, that it is shielding terrorist groups behind its network, and it continues to do so.

Cloudflare provides services to neo-Nazi sites like The Daily Stormer, including giving them personal information on people who complain about their content. The widespread use of Cloudflare’s services by racist groups is not an accident. Cloudflare has said it will not deny its services to even the most offensive purveyors of hate. "A website is speech. It is not a bomb," Cloudflare’s CEO Matthew Prince wrote. "There is no imminent danger it creates and no provider has an affirmative obligation to monitor and make determinations about the theoretically harmful nature of speech a site may contain." Cloudflare also has an added appeal to sites such as The Daily Stormer. It turns over to the hate sites the personal information of people who criticize their content.

Cloudflare is regularly shamed for enabling repulsive groups by helping them provide a better internet experience to their followers. In October 2018, Cloudflare stood out by continuing to support the chat platform Gab–infamous for racist chatter, including a post by Robert Bowers, who was charged with murdering 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue on October 27. Infrastructure companies like Joyent and GoDaddy dropped the site. But Cloudflare held on and continues to support Gab.

Saturday’s shooting in El Paso, where at least 20 people were killed and two dozen injured, is the third mass shooting linked to both 8chan and white nationalist ideology this year. The first, in Christchurch, New Zealand, brought the fringe website into the mainstream discussion back in April, but Cloudflare declined to revoke its service.

While Cloudflare may have been The Daily Stormer's last line of defense, Prince's decision didn't actually take the company's site offline by itself. Earlier in the week, both GoDaddy and Google publicly announced they had dropped The Daily Stormer as a customer of their domain-hosting services.

Protection from Cloudflare: 8chan would have difficultly operating if it didn’t receive protection from Cloudflare, a US-based company that provides internet infrastructure services to websites. Cloudflare faced renewed public pressure over its protection of 8chan in the wake of the Christchurch massacre. And in a phone interview with the Guardian on Saturday night, Prince reiterated his belief that Cloudflare should not cease to provide services to sites such as 8chan based on their content.

Three attackers in six months allegedly posted their plans on the site in advance. 8chan would have difficultly operating if it didn’t receive protection from a company called Cloudflare. Cloudflare faced renewed public pressure over its protection of 8chan in the wake of the Christchurch massacre. CEO Matthew Prince explains his "moral obligation" to keep 8chan online and reiterated his belief that Cloudflare should not cease to provide services to sites such as 8chan based on their content.
