It is the world's [largest](https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/proxy) MITM proxy([reverse proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy)).
It sits between you and origin webserver, acting like a [border patrol agent](https://www.cbp.gov/careers/bpa).
The origin webserver administrator allowed the agent to decide who can access to their "_web property_" and define "_restricted area_".
-Take a look at the second image posted below. You will think Cloudflare block _only_ attackers. You will think _Cloudflare is always online(never go down)_. However it is not true.

It is called this in reference to the [Great Firewall of China](https://www.comparitech.com/privacy-security-tools/blockedinchina/) which does a comparable job of filtering out many humans from seeing web content (ie everyone in mainland China and people outside) while at the same time those not affected to see a dratically different web, a web free of censorship such as an image of ["tank man"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man) and the history of ["Tiananmen Square protests"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests#Censorship_in_China). (Cloudflare also [block](PEOPLE.md) legit robots(crawlers) and API clients)
