advice on using with caddy defender

[joeblew999]

Hey

https://github.com/JasonLovesDoggo/caddy-defender blocks AI scrapers, to help protect Open source projects from huge traffic spikes.

I just found Cerberus and wanted to get some advice about best way to use these together, as the POW seems to be some rust compiled to WASM ?

thanks

Cerberus is a very aggressive module that challenges every visitor with a js+wasm pow (blake3) problem. You might want to apply a custom request matcher to protect part of your (most vulnerable) route only. It's definitely a great idea to pair this module with other milder solutions. You can check the example Caddyfile for some inspiration.

Thank you @PhotonQuantum for the advice .

I will try this out and if I get time submit any caddy file that combines the 2 synergistically
