- Dig "[A record](https://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=dev.qubes-os.org&type=A&ns=resolver&useresolver=8.8.4.4&nameservers=)" of the FQDN, then [check the IP's owner](https://ipinfo.io/104.18.228.122).
```

IMPORTANT: Please add only "Base Domain"
if "community.example.com" is using Cloudflare
add "example.com"
if "www.example.co.uk" is using Cloudflare
add "example.co.uk"
if "example.net" is using Cloudflare
add "example.net"
... to /split/cloudflare_e.txt
```
**But the website X no longer using Cloudflare!**
Are you sure? *Remove* it from /split/ list and *add* to "[ex_cloudflare_users.txt](cloudflare_users/ex_cloudflare_users.txt)".
- Above is how Siteground-hosted([INAP](https://www.inap.com/press-release/inap-completes-acquisition-singlehop/);[Singlehop](https://www.siteground.com/blog/siteground-partners-singlehop/)) sites often appear to Tor visitors when timeouts/tarpitting doesn't occur.

Some websites use other companies _with_ the CloudFlare business model.
This is a collection of websites that ban Tor exits, other than through Cloudflare(e.g. showing access denied pages, systematic timing out connections, ...).
- Some news websites are lying to Tor users. You can read their website if you are not using Tor nor VPN. If you visit their website over Tor, they just say "Sorry, article not found".
How can you trust their news if they are not treating everyone equally?

About "Anti-Tor FQDN list"
www.example.com
---> www.example.com denied/bullied Tor visitor.
?.akamaiedge.net
---> subdomain of akamaiedge.net is denied Tor user.
* unique hostname will be masked as "?".
senate.gov
---> base domain denied/harassed/challenged human who're using Tor.
```
If your website is on this list, you better talk with your network administrator.
**But the website X no longer blocking Tor users!**
Are you sure? There are two ways to remove yourself.
First option is just _*remove* it from the list_ and _create a pull request_.
Whenever git operates on the cloudflare-tor project, all connections
to codeberg are automatically over Tor with this configuration
(because the `url` in `.git/config` references the virtual host
`codeberg-snowden` in `~/.ssh/config`).

## About Cloudflare base domain list
</summary>
Our mission is clear - `stay away from Cloudflare`.
If the `subdomain.example.com` is cloudflared, we add `example.com` to the database. (`subdomain.example.com` is the sub-domain of `example.com`. Only `the owner` of `example.com` can create sub-domain)
Even if `whatever.example.com` is _not_ behind cloudflare we _will_ raise a warning, because the base domain `example.com` is `cloudflare user`.
`The owner` of `example.com` can enable Cloudflare to `whatever.example.com` at any time without user's notice. It can be done from `dash.cloudflare.com` webpage or hitting `Cloudflare API`. `The owner` is supporting `Cloudflare` and this is severe `security risk`.
Until `the owner` completely stop using Cloudflare service for `example.com`, we _do not_ remove `example.com` from the database.
If `the owner` moved away from `cloudflare`**completely**, you are welcome to add `example.com` to the "[ex_cloudflare_users.txt](cloudflare_users/ex_cloudflare_users.txt)" - after checking `example.com` with online tool below.
4. If you got `---Finish---`, the domain _might_ stopped using Cloudflare. We'll _investigate_ and remove it - or not. (wait some days and scan again to see whether the domain is removed)
`Only a few Cloudflare user leave Cloudflare. False positive is uncommon.`
