Cloudflare's New Privacy Tool for Developers

TL;DR

Cloudflare is launching the OHTTP Gateway, a paid add-on to customers' zones, designed to help developers bake privacy into their apps. This tool, which runs on every server on Cloudflare's global edge network, minimizes latency in relay-to-gateway hops, making it easier for developers to adopt and use. The OHTTP Gateway will be available as a closed beta and will provide customers with two options: using Cloudflare's OHTTP Relay and running their own gateway, or using Cloudflare's OHTTP Gateway with a third-party relay. This is a game-changer for developers looking to enhance user privacy without sacrificing performance.
