Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?

They happen to have a trusted root CA so they just present one of their own certificates with a SAN that matches your domain and your browser trusts it. Bingo, TLS termination at CF servers. They have it in cleartext then and just re-encrypt it with your origin server if you enforce TLS, but at that point it’s meaningless.

Oh, I didn’t think about the fact that they’re a CA. That’s a good point; thanks for the info.
