Harden a Traefik 2.x/3.x reverse proxy against abusive or unwanted traffic — per-identity rate + concurrency limiting, IP allowlisting, request-body buffering, middleware chaining, keying limits on a JWT claim/header instead of raw source IP, air-gapped plugin loading (localPlugins/WASM), and detection/response via access logs. Built on the principle that a proxy usually CANNOT reliably tell a "bad" client from a "good" one (User-Agent and even TLS/JA3 fingerprints are spoofable; real humans burst while abusive scripts crawl) — so cap per-identity resource use regardless of client type rather than trying to classify. Covers the 2.x→3.x middleware deltas (IPWhiteList→IPAllowList, Redis-backed distributed RateLimit, status-based Retry), the single-leader-counting trap, and where Traefik's job ends and the app/backend must take over.
