Cloudflare provides a variety of services to different clients. In some cases, Cloudflare hosts the content directly, more akin to a traditional web host like any other on the web. In the majority of cases, Cloudflare provides its cybersecurity services, which can protect sites from distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS), mask the location of the site’s hosting servers, and serve up a cached version of the site if the original is temporarily unavailable. Kiwi Farms uses some of these security services.Do you work at Cloudflare? We'd love to hear from you. Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, or email joseph.cox@vice.com.
