Fuck Cloudflare
@f0x Oh, how come? Are they problematic?
@f0x Ah thank you, I will look through these. Do you know of any alternatives that offer similar features?
@dumpsterqueer most of their features are exactly the problem, and aren't needed. They centralize the internet, and it gives them a huge capability for control and surveillance
@f0x That makes sense. Honestly the CDN they offer is not something I want or need.
The main features I care about:
- DDOS protection
- Concealing actual IP of the server
- Filtering out requests based on user-agent (ie., hide all my shit from google, facebook etc)
If I can find something that offers those three things I'll happily switch. I'm gonna read these sources first.
@dumpsterqueer I would rather recommend spinning up a (cheap) vps for that purpose, I have a similar setup for pixie.town, with a 3$ Hetzner vps that takes all the traffic, and sends it to my server at home over a wireguard vpn (<3 wireguard), which is also used to proxy the outwards traffic.
Nginx is ran on the vps which could also do the user-agent filtering, and the vps provider almost certainly has adequate ddos protection
@f0x how do you do the user agent filtering with nginx?
