What made you remove it?
Blocking cloudflare blocks half the internet so I presume there’s something else going on somewhere.
Pretty much every CDN works the same way or very similarly.
Lovely.
As my local county attorney told the court, "We will not be using the cloud because it is not secure," this doesn't surprise me. The bane of local governments strikes again.
I would ballpark Delaware court IT security requirements as similar to DoD Secret level clearance.
And as far as I understand a higher security cloud solution is usually a custom ask and really expensive at any of the major providers, simply not affordable for smaller organizations.
Since “cloud” is actually a marketing term (usually meaning virtualized servers), any company or department who says no to any mention of using the cloud is showing willful ignorance.
Not in my professional estimation, unless you want to reduce the argument to absurdly pedantic levels.
My quick response to the county government was for immediate effect, "The CIA uses AWS."
From what I understand, the infrastructure is really, technically, exactly the same, but just limited to certain customers. It's also, generally speaking going to be as, or more secure than any self-managed datacenter connected to the internet. The transparency could probably be a bit better.
note: used to work for a government contractor that received a LOT of hacking effort as a target.
