I put up a vps with nginx and the logs show dodgy requests within minutes, how do you guys deal with these?

Edit: Thanks for the tips everyone!

I use ACL where I add my home/work IPs as well as a few commonly used VPNs IPs as well. Cloudflare clocks known bots for me. Don't see anything in the server logs, but I do see attempts on the CF side.

I am actually thinking about going back to Cloudflare tunnels. The only reason that I am hesitant is that I do use a fair amount of bandwidth as I host a mastodon server as well as a lemmy one. I don't want to be stuck with a huge bandwidth bill.
