  • If I use a firewall to block kbin in user agent then it doesn’t matter what code is running, it will throw 403.

    Edit: Just checked out, the first request with kbin user agent, it doesn’t have x-powered-by: Express, suggesting that it is blocked in nginx level, it doesn’t even reach the backend Express. This will not be reflected in the code whatsoever.
