As AI assistants and privacy proxies challenge the capabilities of traditional bot detection, the Web needs new models for accountability. We believe that control should remain with the client, and that an open ecosystem of anonymous credentials is key to preserving user privacy while protecting origins from abuse.
IPv4 scarcity drives widespread use of Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation, a practice in ISPs and mobile networks that places many users behind each IP address, along with their collected activity and volumes of traffic. We introduce the method we’ve developed to detect large-scale IP sharing globally and mitigate the issues that result.
Researchers and practitioners have been studying connections almost as long as the Internet that supports them. Today, Cloudflare’s global network receives millions of connections per second. We explore various characteristics of TCP connections, including lifetimes, sizes, and more.
We present a data-driven framework to quantify cross-layer Internet resilience. We also share a list of measurements with which to quantify facets of Internet resilience for geographical areas.
We are proposing—as starting points—responsible AI bot principles that emphasize transparency, accountability, and respect for content access and use preferences.
Cloudflare’s free security.txt generator lets users create and manage security.txt files. Enhance vulnerability disclosure, align with industry standards, and integrate into the dashboard.
At Cloudflare, we believe in the power of open source. With Project Alexandria, our expanded open source program, we’re helping open source projects have a sustainable and scalable future, providing them with the tools and protection needed to thrive.
In celebration of Project Galileo's 10th anniversary, we want to give you a snapshot of what organizations that work in the public interest experience on an everyday basis when it comes to keeping
Our Impact Report is an annual summary highlighting how we are trying to build a better Internet and the progress we are making on our environmental, social, and governance priorities.
In this blog we outline how we advocate, across the many jurisdictions where we operate, for a better Internet, in our engagement with governments and regulators.
