Ask HN: What's a good open-source alternative to Cloudflare?
Openresty with a few Nginx modules and Lua scripts can go a long way for many use-cases mentioned:
- ModSecurity for WAF: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity
- L7 Rate limiting: https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-limit-traffic
- Cache: https://github.com/ledgetech/ledge . Or use varnish which gives you VCL for high configurability
- CDN: https://github.com/taythebot/lightpath . This project seems to be a WIP which you can use as a starting point for your needs. You will also need to find good enough "edge" locations for your CDN.
Similarly, HAProxy does a lot of stuff with the correct config and is also extensible using Lua:
