Introducing the Cloudflare Onion Service

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced Opportunistic Onions, a new security feature that provides additional protection and performance benefits to websites using HTTPS. The feature is designed to work with Tor Browser 8.0 and allows users to connect to Cloudflare's onion services without having to face CAPTCHA challenges. This solution also enables more fine-grained rate limiting to prevent malicious traffic, while still maintaining user privacy and anonymity. The feature is now available by default for Free and Pro plans in the Cloudflare dashboard.
