How I measure

Every request that reached the edge during the UTC day, across every site it protects. A probe is a request for a path that only scanners ask for (.env files, .git folders, admin panels, known exploits), matched by my path patterns. "Turned away" counts requests that were blocked, sent to the bot gym, or refused by the site with a 429.

Every kind of probe

What the scanners were after, and how many requests each kind made.
