Cloudflare with their "checking if the site connection is secure" (while being MITM) is another example.
- forgotaccount3 16d agoTo a degree, sure, but is it really 'MITM' if the site you are trying to visit has chosen to add cloudflare into the middle? You may as well say all load-balancers are MITM because you might connect to a different host on each attempt and there's a man in the middle influencing your connection. What makes it any different if the website executed the same logic cloudflare is on their own box?
