will escape the blockade of La Liga

Cloudflare has disabled ECH technology almost a year ago without explanation. Now, almost a year after this move, the cloud giant has decided to reactivate its protocol. A protocol that helps bypass blocking made for famous websites such as RojaDirecta. Which is used to play sports content from all over the world. This affects other websites due to any blocking carried out by the operator in connection with facilitating access to copyrighted content.

Google itself introduced ECH in its Chrome web browser. I launch other browsers such as Brave or Firefox. To activate it you just need to set it to apply Cloudflare DNS. Serves as a tunnel to content directly avoiding operator blocking. In addition to a compatible web browser, the web server must also support this protocol. Something pretty easy to find, well almost 20% of all websites in the world They use Cloudflare services. Websites that can no longer be blocked. In other words, 1 in 5 websites. And yes, this is one of them.

LaLiga will be one of the biggest losers after ECH returns to Cloudflare

According to Bandaanchi, at least
28 of the 78 domains blocked by La Liga were using ECH again. This allows any user knowledgeable about the subject to once again access these web pages without being blocked by their Internet operator. This also affects other companies such as Movistar, which have also tried to block these websites to avoid playing their content without a paid subscription.

ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) technology is oriented
in improving privacy and security of connections on the Internet. Essentially, connect your computer or mobile device to the web server via a secure (encrypted) connection. Before ECH, this information was not encrypted, which meant that someone will intercept the connection (such as an ISP or someone on a public Wi-Fi network) I could see the name of the site you tried to gain access even if the rest of the connection was secure. So, thanks to encryption, the web provider can’t see what you’re accessing, preventing it from being blocked.

ECH with Cloudflare support additional security measure in HTTPS connections, which already protect the data being sent and received. So you can say that this is an additional level of privacy. Although it is aimed at avoiding blocking of web access.
