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.

clankers make the end result that sloppers (meatbags) eat up ;)
Yeah and the make a mess of network traffic that slows everything down.
Sludgers works too, but I like slop for the LLM output, so it makes sense as the bot term of derision.
