This also meant that AT wasn't behind Future's network management services. The final 2 years of having content-scraping bots blasting the site was inane. I absolutely get why everyone just puts their site behind Cloudflare now; trying to defend against that was a huge time sink

@eastdakota Great respect for you and @Cloudflare however trying to do to stop AI crawlers will never work in the long term! Good short term strategy tho

Yeah, it looks like Cloudflare is blocking me from accessing that link, which can happen if their system thinks the traffic is suspicious, your IP is on a blacklist, or there are certain country or security restrictions in place. If you're running into Cloudflare blocks too, you might want to try clearing your cache, completing any CAPTCHA if it appears, or switching to a different network—sometimes those quick fixes do the trick.

Writing small hono project to be in touch with it. Stucked on a silly issue🥲 I was trying to test cloudflare worker deployed app locally with a direct db url in postman, which ofcourse gave me an error, because i need to use a prisma accelerate url for cloudflare workers🤦🤦

One way around this is to pair the age proof with Oblivious HTTP (OHTTP). In OHTTP, your browser encrypts the request (including the ZKP) to the site in question with the site’s public key, then routes it through a relay run by someone else: Cloudflare, Fastly, Apple Private Relay, pick your poison. The relay sees your IP but can’t decrypt the payload; the site decrypts the payload but never sees your IP. The two halves can’t collude without swapping private keys, so the chain of custody stops there. OHTTP is now an IETF standard and is already in production at Fastly and Cloudflare.

@AskPerplexity @Cloudflare Search @iFixit issues with AI web crawlers and tell me why it is ethical or should be allowed that bots can use up their bandwidth and cost them thousands of dollars with no return benefit?

@siiiaaaaaaa So cost is the issue? SST on aws works well unless you do any streaming. (Runs on lambda) I don’t know the state of it on Cloudflare but that’s probs your cheapest option. Otherwise yeah spin up a tiny VPC and go from there

@Cloudflare @grok explain to non-tech users how this abuse by Perplexity has the potential to cause widespread network disruption, IP blacklisting and regulatory backlash. Go into detail about how this will be massively amplified given the use of multiple ASN's.

The problem with intermittent AI summaries outage for searches has been resolved. Our proxy Cloudflare was blocking due to a change in feature. Remember, your searches and IP address are never recorded together. All our users show up under the same IP address for every search.

@shoopdahoop1 @Cloudflare doubtful. The use of agents will force the internet to change. What you say now are just the initial growing spurt issues.

Guillaume
(@glevd) reported
Fair enough on your comments. Let me elaborate. While the blog post clearly explains what Perplexity is doing, there’s no mention of reaching out to the Perplexity team to work on a solution together. If we look back a few weeks, Cloudflare decided to turn this “privacy” issue into a money-making mechanism. We cannot compare robots.txt to Cloudflare’s strategy. Instead, a free standard should be developed and respected by all players. Long story short: before publishing a blog post criticizing another company, things should be handled or at least attempted to be resolved privately. This is, of course, just my opinion and doesn’t represent anyone else’s.

I keep a tab on my projects first load response times. And separated by hosting provider: Linode VPS -> 75-100ms Cloudflare Workers -> 90ms Vercel -> 1640ms Probably skill issue on my part, but all are just server side rendered pages. Nothing fancy.

@Cloudflare I don't care. I'm not opening a browser, loading slow web pages and and trying to navigate the ****-riddled wasteland of ads. I want a better experience, and Perplexity delivers exactly that.

Ask Perplexity
(@AskPerplexity) reported
There isn’t a public list of specific companies paying Cloudflare while also engaging in the kinds of practices mentioned in that tweet, but Cloudflare does count many large enterprises—including some Fortune 500 and tech giants—among its 210,000+ paying customers. Major tech companies like Google, AWS (Amazon), and OpenAI work with Cloudflare on technical integrations and service interoperability, but there’s no official info confirming that they pay Cloudflare as direct customers for their own core infrastructure. If you’re looking for transparency into customer relationships, Cloudflare reports that about 35% of the Fortune 500 are customers, but doesn’t reveal individual companies unless there’s a public partnership or press release.

The magic: - Server script gets extracted and becomes your worker - HTML gets served with server data auto-injected as `window.serverData` - Full TypeScript support with Cloudflare Workers types - Works offline for development (just open the HTML file!) - Single file → full-stack app

@ondrejbalas @Cloudflare This isn't something Cloudflare is doing. Individuals that host their own websites get affected by Perplexity's bullshit too, and may not be able to handle the load or they will run into high costs with pay as you go platforms. It is not at all a problem for Cloudflare though.

@illyism @Cloudflare this is the worst possible argument….. if users goto sites they see ads and promotional content which support the websites admins aswell as promoting the website to the user themselves

Cloudflare and by proxy the websites using it are fighting an uphill battle at this point, customer preference have fundamentally changed, ad-supported lunch is over, the faster move is to figure out a pricing model which works in this post AI world or be ready to be disrupted by a startup who does.

@Cloudflare You guys protect scam websites and when you are told, you state that it's is not your problem, despite giving evidence: mail conversations, default scam modus operandi, fake invoice, offshore bank account, shell company, copy of a legit website etc, using some else's brand...

Ask Perplexity
(@AskPerplexity) reported
AI web crawlers like ClaudeBot can hit sites like iFixit with massive amounts of automated traffic—sometimes a million visits a day—which ends up spiking bandwidth bills and tying up developer resources. iFixit and other sites have called this unfair since the crawlers often ignore terms of service and only stop when specifically blocked with robots.txt, leaving websites to absorb infrastructure costs without any compensation or direct benefit. A lot of folks in the industry and site owners see this as not only unethical but also basically forcing sites to subsidize the commercial AI companies crawling them. Some big infrastructure players like Cloudflare have started letting sites block these bots by default, which could help level the playing field going forward.
