HellPot: https://github.com/yunginnanet/HellPot
> Clients (hopefully bots) that disregard robots.txt and connect to your instance of HellPot will suffer eternal consequences. HellPot will send an infinite stream of data that is just close enough to being a real website that they might just stick around until their soul is ripped apart and they cease to exist.

Project mention: Dito – an advanced Layer 7 reverse proxy server written in Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-09
This space may be well established, but it still does not fullfill all needs. For my own:
- NGINX does not support ACME, and I'm fed up with dealing with Lego and other external ACME clients. Also the interactions between locations has never been clear to me.
- Caddy plugins mean I have to download xcaddy and rebuild the server. I really do not want to rebuild services on my servers just because I need a simple layer 4 reverse proxy (e.g. so that I can terminate TLS connections in front of my IRC server).
So I'm building my own server/reverse proxy (https://github.com/galdor/boulevard). Competition is good for everyone!
