How well-proteced is the "edge" in edge computing? I can see Cloudflare has edge locations in many countries. Can entities with physical access to Cloudflare's edge machines get access to sensitive user data?
It's hard to take Cloudflare's commitment to security seriously when they still ship such terrible default settings.
You can install certificates by cloudflare and then the only one that can connect to your server is from cloudflare.
No one can intercept it then.
If you're talking about flexible SSL. Sure, you can use it purely as a https proxy for your SEO score of your blog. But securing it is not much effort.
If it's just for a static blog, I'm not sure what you would though.
To the less experienced sysadmin everything looks like it's working fine and users also don't notice any difference, which is why it's a terrible default.
Sure you _can_ configure Cloudflare securely, but it should be secure out of the box. But that adds friction when the origin doesn't have a valid SSL certificate which probably hurts someone's KPIs.
