Learning the power of #OpenBSD httpd.conf - the discovery that I can close a server stanza with

location not found "*" {
block drop
}

and never reply to scanners even with a 404.html is really quite satisfying :flan_evil:

What a wonderful design.

I truly love this, and it's absolutely a good reason for me to switch to OpenBSD'd built-in httpd server...

But do you happen to know if there's something similar available for nginx? It would be awesome to practically eliminate the flood of nonsense that hits my tiny server every day.
