My goals for this firewall were mostly to provide better robot blocking and perhaps some more powerful DDoS protection than my Raspberry Pi 3 web server is capable of delivering. I still have to do some testing before I will know if my new firewall actually provides either of those, but at least I now have the additional ability to run multiple physical web servers on my LAN. Exploring that should be fun, and fun is a very important component of running a home web server.

Not my article. Just sharing.

I'm getting a 404 error, using Cloudflare DNS, who ironically has the best commercial clanker protection in the world, otherwise half the world's internet wouldn't use them

    Not a bot. Both of you can go fuck yourselves with an ENTIRE can of bear mace.

    Using a VPN that you forgot is on?

    Because the VPN might be the reason you’re being blocked from the page.

    Why would a post on a .org domain blog site about blocking AI bots be relevant to my VPN?

    Cloudflare is a protection racket. They cover so many websites because it’s easier to pay the mafia.
