Why do people on /g/ accuse Cloudflare of being a "MITM"? Obviously an HTTP reverse proxy needs to be able to process HTTP requests to function. Also, if someone is paranoid, they can use the Web Crypto API.

Saying "MITM" implies they are a cyberattacker

Saying "MITM" implies they are the man in the middle, which they are

"man in the middle" has always referred to an unknown impersonator, not to reverse proxies

well people on /g/ use it differently, i don't know what to tell you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As long as your certs aren't hosted by Cloudflare, then you're probably fine.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if Cloudflare had access to some of the private keys for CAs.

It's not a MITM attack, people are retards and don't understand how reverse proxies work.

>>107846653
Other than the implied malice in everyday use of "MITM", how does the technological aspect itself differ from MITM?

american corporations are satanic and should be punished at every opportunity

Cloudflare isn't impersonating the client
