I mean, this and the reddit board are /r/selfhosted. We self-host, yet I see so much about people relying on 1.1.1.1 and Cloudflare's proxy services that they never second-guess.

I don't care about Cloudflare. My server doesn't exist to use their proxies and services when the entire point is to divide from reliance on third-parties.

I already found Anubis, I'm sure many of you are familiar with it. Are there any other useful tools or similar that you guys have been using?

......asterisk? The proxy everyone uses, the middleware that detects bots and such before letting you through. Their bread and butter. I'm not sure of any formal name.

Only safeline's webui is open source, and the dev is a little odd. Just like tailscale, I don't like closed source reliance. I've been referred to open-appsec as an open alternative, but I'm not sure on them either.
