The #curl website has been hosted by #Fastly CDN for over seven years now. I cannot ask for a better service and a friendlier company to help us.

Starting now they offer a free tier. fastly.com/pricing/

Here's my blog post from seven years ago: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2017/05/02…

We run our company main service on Fastly's compute offering and we're pretty happy with it as well!

What about privacy? Fastly is able to trace all users who pass through it. This represents a major danger for the protection of people, their personal data and their privacy. Not to mention Prism, Cloud Act, Patriot Act, etc.

@cpm someone always can see the traffic in the server end, that's for sure yes. But we keep no logs, have no trackers, use no cookies, and feature no ads.We could not run the website without a CDN so ... it is necessary infra.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

You keep no logs, but Fastly is able of doing so and certainly do so, without telling you, for commercial and intelligence purposes. They track millions of users every day. Could you think of a better ethical solution for this necessary infra?

@cpm I could, but who would pay for that? It's an expensive task if I can't use an existing CDN.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

I don't know how much it could be expensive. But in the meantime, you and the Curl project are complicit in tracing people. Too bad because you make a so great work.
Hopefully in the future. With all my encouragement 🙂

@cpm that's quite the ridiculous stance because no matter where or how I would run it, someone could "trace people". Unless you mean we should all run .onion sites?
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

I don't mean about Onion. Who is the "someone would trace people?". There is a huge difference between "someone could with huge difficulties and huge technical means" and "I actively participate in organized tracing of millions people".
