Primary reason for CloudFlare usage is to mask the IP address of the web server (for us). Upon an IP blacklist, one does not even send a request to our web server, at all. This helps to mitigate HTTP-based attacks greatly. CloudFlare offers free HTTPS, which prevents a man-in-the-middle: client--->CloudFlare. CloudFlare is pretty fucking cool, right next to Incapsula. Incapsula charges for HTTPS though.

Which SSL setting is r4p3 using? I'm using Strict SSL. It's the safest afaik

 

[Asphyxia]

That is the safest setting. We are not using strict as SSL certificates cost money and as it is from VIP.. we barely make enough to keep the website running off the VIP donations.
If there is an increase in VIP donations, I will gladly configure it to be strict. I don't want a free SSL certificate, they have horrible support in the event there is ever any problem(s).
