Comment (by cypherpunks):
better approach
A better proposal would be to trust the cert but replace the padlock with
something that indicates that the endpoint is as untrustworthy as
cloudflare. I suggest a clown head icon mounted over top of a padlock. A
clown head with a metallic "∩" bend would be an intuitive way to express
that you've secured a tunnel to a dodgy endpoint that's not controlled by
the entity that the URL would seem to indicate. Or if a clown head too
explicitly expresses that the user is clownfucked then replace the padlock
with cloud logo with a little metallic "∩" above it.
