How to Build a Powerful Reverse Proxy Firewall for Blocking the Evil Web-Scraping Robot Hordes from Hell (cheapskatesguide.org)

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.

Should we just move everything to tor and start the Internet over again?

Not sure about Tor but your fridge definitely supports mesh networks whether it wants to or not.

I was interested until I saw the crypto stakes to vote on changes baked in.
