 Replying to [comment:7 cypherpunks]:
 > LOL if I go to https://kproxy.com to visit https://github.com, should
 the browser inform me that my connection is insecure because kproxy is
 essentially MiTM? Of course not! So why should it do exactly that for
 sites behind kproxy, uh, I mean Cloudflare?

 You do realize you're connecting to KPROXY.COM right? Going beyond that
 isn't MITM because you do know your destination server is KPROXY.COM.

 You ============ KPROXY.COM

 The problem is Cloudflare websites. You never notice you are connecting to
 Cloudflare.

 Expected result:
 You ============ WTF.COM

 Actual result:
 You =====CF:)=== WTF.COM
