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.
Well it cant be that good becauase it thinks im a bot.
Anubis works pretty well for me so far in blocking clankers.

They seem to block archive.today but not archive.org.
Oh interesting! Thank you.
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.
I just used a bot to read it: https://web.archive.org/web/20250901133211/https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/debian-netinstall-waf.html
Here is a mirror https://git.qiuwen.net.cn/Mirror/anubis handle with care
Thanks but i meant the site in the original post https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/debian-netinstall-waf.html
It says
Your IP address has been blocked. This MAY be because you have made yourself look like a robot by using an unknown VPN or Tor exit node.
Blocking tor is pretty bold, that network is too slow to use for anything but straight up privacy.
How ironic
I guess you will have to resort to online translators or actual web proxies to read these pages 🙄
