Honest production

The sentence

This is honest production on two VPS nodes: application-layer DDoS and WAF, in-process cache, DNS-JSON (not port 53), and image delivery (not transcoding). It is not anycast or a GPU LLM farm.

The two nodes

Zipper A (191.215.40.237) is the control plane and HTTP data plane: The Crown cache, The Keep, The Moat, Herald DNS-JSON, Edge Functions, Site Hosting, Edge AI.

Zipper B (72.61.95.36) stores Gallery, Archives, and Video objects. Zipper A fetches them and can cache the response in process.

What that means for each job

These are the production paths. Analogues to Cloudflare products are named so you can map a skill, not so we claim the same network.

• ▸Application-layer DDoS — The Moat: per-IP HTTP cap → 429 on Zipper A.
• ▸WAF — The Keep: HTTP expression rules before origin.
• ▸In-process cache — The Crown: Map in the Zipper A Node process, TTL + SWR, gzip/brotli.
• ▸DNS-JSON — The Herald: GET /dns-query, Content-Type application/dns-json. No UDP/TCP 53.
• ▸Image delivery — The Gallery: original bytes from Zipper B. No resize, AVIF, or EXIF strip.
• ▸Edge AI — grounded Zipper corpus on Zipper A. Not a GPU LLM farm.

Try it

You do not need nameserver cutover to exercise the data plane.
