What does 'helping build a better Internet' mean? The creation of the Internet was an incredible achievement that involved the collective efforts of thousands of individuals and organizations. The fact that the Internet functions today at a far bigger scale than its founders anticipated is a testament to their work. However, the Internet does not always work as well as it should. Networking issues and malicious activity can slow down Internet access or block it altogether. Third parties can spy on user activities, leading to abuse and, in some cases, government repression. Internet protocols and processes were not designed with security and privacy in mind, since the people who first designed and built the Internet were more concerned with getting it to work than making it perfect. The Cloudflare mission is to help build a better Internet. Cloudflare aims to accomplish this in a number of ways, including: -Contributing to the development of newer, faster, and more secure protocols for the Internet -Putting privacy first by building it into all products and offering free services to increase user privacy (such as 1.1.1.1 [https://1.1.1.1/] and DNS over HTTPS [https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-over-tls/]) -Extending Cloudflare services to a global audience through an ever-expanding international network of data centers (https://www.cloudflare.com/network/) -Offering products that increase security, performance, and reliability for web properties and network infrastructure (many of these products are offered for free to anyone with a website or API) -Enabling developers to build faster, more efficient serverless applications to better serve users (https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/serverless/what-is-serverless/) -Educating users about how Internet technology works through the Learning Center and the Cloudflare Blog (https://blog.cloudflare.com/)
