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.

    It seems Anubis’github issues shows many false positives with smartphone browsers. Depending on OP’s target audience it’s worth to hunt for FP

    I just wish i could read it, it seems to block based on my IP which isn't really a good way to identify bots.
