Caddy is a great choice for exactly that reason — it gets out of your way. HAProxy gives me more granular control but the config is definitely not for everyone. On the obscurity point: you're absolutely right, and I'd sign that statement. Obscurity alone is theater. Obscurity on top of solid security is a legitimate noise reducer. Watching bots drop to zero is genuinely satisfying — my public dashboard shows 6,400+ attack attempts in 17 days vs ~4,500 real humans. The bots are loud. The wildcard cert + uncommon port approach is underrated for small personal setups. The attack surface doesn't shrink, but the automated scanners move on and that's often enough. 😄
