Cloudflare Abuse Fast-Track Reporter
Help site owners bypass dead-end abuse channels and get complaints in front of a human
- Problem
- A site owner faced aggressive abuse from Cloudflare IP ranges, but emails to abuse@cloudflare.com bounced and the only online form demanded a URL of the abusive website—yet the traffic hit their origin directly with no such URL. The complaint channel is effectively a dead end, leaving victims stranded.
- Solution
- A structured abuse report generator that extracts IP ranges, timelines, and request patterns from logs, then produces complaints matching Cloudflare and upstream ISP requirements. It provides templates and tracking IDs so users can submit across channels and monitor progress.
- Users
- Small site owners, indie developers, and ops folks harassed by proxy network abuse
- MVP
- Paste logs to auto-extract IP ranges and attack patterns; generate English and Chinese abuse reports with attachments; provide a checklist of Cloudflare and upstream ISP submission channels; log submission timestamps and reply status; export PDF
- Revenue
- Free report generation + premium subscription (bulk complaints, auto-reply tracking, priority template updates)
- Why now
- Abuse of proxy services like Cloudflare is persistent and complaint channels are rigid; victims are scattered and lack tooling. An indie dev can focus on the narrow "complaint paperwork" wedge without platform APIs.
