TLS (Transport Layer Security) encrypts communication between a user's browser and a web server. Cloudflare acts as a reverse proxy and CDN, often handling TLS termination. DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses, directing users to the correct server, which may be Cloudflare's infrastructure handling the TLS connection.
