Summary
This post introduces the Cloudflare Onion Service, a new feature that enhances privacy and anonymity for Tor Browser users visiting Cloudflare-protected websites. It leverages HTTP Alternative Services and Tor's onion service protocol to establish direct, encrypted connections, bypassing exit nodes and improving security and performance for anonymous users while also enabling more fine-grained rate-limiting against malicious traffic.
