@timconsidine Great, I’m glad that I’m not alone. I also saw your posts in this discussion related to specific problem of DDOS attacks.
I started to approach to this problem examining how VPS resources are “wasted” on daily bases when migrated from bare metal to VPS... In some peaks, I had a connection timeout on incoming 25 port, and then slowly I saw what was going on... most of accesses on that time they weren’t “human”...

If the bots are compliant to it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt would be the tool you are looking for. This file can already be managed through the Cloudron UI.
When it comes to preventing bad actors then https://docs.crowdsec.net/ could be worthwhile to look into.

@fbartels Yes, Robots.txt, .htaccess, all good... but it could be great to manage rules in a central (and simple) way, special on Cloudron instances with multiple apps installed.
It seems to be little bit complicated for my skills. I had a look on this post.
Are you using Crowdsec?

I always install Wordfence on all my WordPress sites. Blocks most stuff.

@jdaviescoates @joseph Thanks, I wouldn't want to rely on outside services.

@p44 TBH wrt WordPress i'd expect Wordfence would likely do a much better job that you'd ever be able to do manually. They have very long blocklists and know about many more bad IPs than you do. I just use the free version.
