Hello, I did the discourse setup on a VPS.
I want to put a HAProxy in front of the VPS to prevent Layer 7 ddos attacks and hide the original ip address.
The HAProxy layer 7 I will put in front of the VPS will prevent ddos attacks and function as a reverse proxy.
For this, I plan to follow the steps below.
-
1.1.1.1 - VPS - Discourse (info: I’m using bunnycdn)
-
2.2.2.2 - VPS - HAProxy
3)DNS (CLOUDFLARE) - proxy active
A domain. com | 2.2.2.2
I can do steps 1 and 3 above. But I’m having trouble with item #2. I’ve never used HAProxy before. My technical skills are limited. I request your help in this matter. I am grateful.
In summary, I will position haproxy in front of a server. This HAProxy will both prevent layer 7 ddos attacks and hide the real ip address of my server thanks to the reverse proxy. In front of all this will be cloudflare.
Is it okay to have them all together?
