> provides customers with protection against malicious payloads, allowing them to be detected and blocked. To do this, Cloudflare’s proxy buffers HTTP request body content in memory for analysis.
I have a mixed feeling about this.
On the other hand, I absolutely don't want a CDN to look inside my payloads and decide what's good for me or. Today it's protection, tomorrow it's censorship.
At the same time this is exactly what CloudFlare is good for - to protect sites from malicious requests.
