How the heck do I avoid Cloudflare when selecting a web host, please? I was considering getting a DigitalOcean “droplet” and running something in that, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be inside Cloudflare’s evil embrace.

I asked in what I thought was an obvious place but was met by bewildered looks.

      They’re a man in the middle for half the internet. They get all your form submits, including passwords and other personal info, in plain text.

      Perpetual captchas and not letting people to log in or even viewing websites are examples of their hostility.
