A number of people have asked me about this, so I wrote up some
details on how to use CloudFlare to get always-on SSL:

As mentioned in article, it is important to remember that this is very incomplete solution. It's just like using Opera Turbo (with encryption) to browse http sites or any VPN service. It's only partitial solution and breaks solid encryption. It might be dangerous and misleading. Communication between Google and CloudFlare isn't encrypted.

Otherwise very nice article, but proper SSL solution from Google is what we need.

- Thank you!
