It enhances privacy by removing the exit nodes and the transit across the Internet. It should make browsing Cloudflare managed sites via Tor fast. It makes it easier for us to deal with abusive requests from the Tor network because we can terminate individual circuits that are abusive and leave legit users alone. It fulfils a promise we made a long time ago. It's cool.

I'm not sure if you remember a month or so ago, a HN commenter mentioned how infuriating the experience of browsing Cloudflare sites on Tor is, because he get's the "Not a Robot" captcha every-single-time, I assume this also helps improve the experience for Tor users to show as a legit user when browsing other Cloudflare sites, so all in all the traffic looks clean.

I see every comment on HN about Cloudflare and so I saw that. Every time Tor/Cloudflare comes up I talk to the team about fixing it. Today is part of the fix.

What other measures are in the works, since this is only part? I'm excited to see more widespread adoption of privacy technology. Thank you for listening to our complaints, genuinely happy to see progress on this front.
