🤣 sure, I’ll use a reverse proxy / waf that has a release change log “I don’t remember lol” (Yes, it’s in alpha, but still…)

Is anyone here using it? Are you scared?

Is this an allegedly “high performance” reverse proxy written in NodeJS? Uh… Yeah, good luck with that.

Also, how do they intend to protect against DDos attacks in a self-hosted environment with (presumably) a limited number of devices?

  To be fair, the proxy engine is supposedly written in go, not in nodejs, but yeah, the ddos defense most likely is wishful thinking…

After a few “Delete junk” commits, “Broken”, “PATCH: Hope this fixes it”, and “Basic Reverse-Proxy”, it’s now at version 1.0.1-alpha.1. Don’t know what they did to Git. But their “minor commit” touches almost the entire code in their repo.

100% wouldn’t use it.

  It was a “minor commit” because it was only a minor prompt.
