  Just as an apology in advance for people reading the article on Linux: er, sorry. I've had a few people point out that Firefox on Linux renders the font particularly shitly (it somehow seems to get both the aliasing and colour wrong, wat). I'll fix it soon, but in the meantime using reader mode might save your eyes.

  This is somewhat off-topic, but the colour contrast on this site absolutely sucks. Dark gray on what presumably is darker gray, in a thin font to boot, is a pain to read.

    Are you on Linux perchance? I've had a couple of people mention this in the last day. On Mac the font is pretty close to white, but I was sent a screenshot of it in Firefox on Linux and it looked rubbish, and notably greyer for some reason.

  Are there any other existing edge proxies written in Erlang or Elixir out there? It’s not an area I’m very familiar with

    Must admit I'd not even looked about. I don't know of any off the top of my head but I'd be very curious if anyone else knows of any. It wouldn't surprise me if there's a number of closed-source ones in use at scale - it seems to be well-suited to it, in my opinion.

      It seems to be used by many large companies but with less open source projects of size. I would be interested in trying this proxy in the future if you do opensource it. I use coolify myself but I’ve not had trouble with the default traefik proxy so far.

        There&#x27;s the option of trying something like iocaine (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;iocaine.madhouse-project.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;iocaine.madhouse-project.org&#x2F;</a>) behind your current proxy too, which I mentioned in my previous article. It&#x27;s not quite the same as it doesn&#x27;t chuck the bots into tarpit requests, which is obviously the most fun bit, but because of that it probably won&#x27;t kill Traefik like my system did.

  Nicely done! And yes, I&#x27;d love to see it open sourced.
