So in the example, is Cloudflare proxying to <a href="http://example.com" rel="nofollow">http://example.com</a> or <a href="https://example.github.io" rel="nofollow">https://example.github.io</a>?<p>In the case of the former, wouldn't we be setting a false sense of security since the request is traversing the internet unencrypted from the GitHub servers to the CloudFlare servers?<p>From what I understand, the benefit would really be to prevent snooping on requests between the end-user and CloudFlare, correct?
Yep, I did that a while ago. <a href="https://mikewills.me/2014/11/14/now-powered-by-ssl.html" rel="nofollow">https://mikewills.me/2014/11/14/now-powered-by-ssl.html</a>
