Comment (by cypherpunks):

 better approach
 A better proposal would be to trust the cert but replace the padlock with
 something that indicates that the endpoint is as untrustworthy as
 cloudflare. I suggest a clown head icon mounted over top of a padlock. A
 clown head with a metallic "∩" bend would be an intuitive way to express
 that you've secured a tunnel to a dodgy endpoint that's not controlled by
 the entity that the URL would seem to indicate. Or if a clown head too
 explicitly expresses that the user is clownfucked then replace the padlock
 with cloud logo with a little metallic "∩" above it.
