Well no not really. Cloudflare is fundamentally the *wrong* solution for
security, because it is about putting a bubble around broken and
vulnerable
web sites. This is easier than fixing the actual problems so it is
attractive.
This is quite apart from what might be the *right* use of Cloudflare or
other
CDNs (modulo surveillance) which is efficiently delivering data from as
close
to the edge as possible, and coincidentally being able to sink volumetric
DDoS attacks.
The problems with Tor arise, near as I can tell, almost exclusive from the
former. It's just bad architecture.
