What Makes Cloudflare Special?

We are a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare's enterprise customers at no cost.

We created Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration.

We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure, and privacy-centric public DNS resolver.

This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. We don't store client IP addresses, never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
