Is there any Middleware that performs similar functions to Cloudflare, just... selfhosted? (infosec.pub)

I mean, this and the reddit board are /r/selfhosted. We self-host, yet I see so much about people relying on 1.1.1.1 and Cloudflare's proxy services that they never second-guess.

I don't care about Cloudflare. My server doesn't exist to use their proxies and services when the entire point is to divide from reliance on third-parties.

I already found Anubis, I'm sure many of you are familiar with it. Are there any other useful tools or similar that you guys have been using?

I think you're either looking for a tunnelling solution or a Web Application Firewall. And there are several options. ModSecurity, or SafeLine, BunkerWeb, Coraza, open-appsec. For (AI) crawlers and bad bots we have Anubis, Iocaine... or something like more traditional blocklists or something like OpenResty which is some modified Nginx plus modules...

The tunneling itself can be done with a simple reverse proxy like Nginx, Traefik, Caddy...

I've messed around a bit with ModSecurity. But I'm still looking for something aganist the crawlers.
