We are now using Redis 8.0-M04, which is faster than 7.4.\n\n## VPN Detection API\n\nNow self hosted, using X4BNet's VPN List,\\*\\* **I** \\*\\*made my own VPN detection API, made in the same website files, not a new project, for enhanced speed.\n\nThis API is to ensure the views API doesn't get botted using a proxy or a VPN, and if it gets botted (very hard) I can see the requests and abuse report the IP.\n\n## NextJS\n\nI updated to NextJS 15.2.3 (funny vulnerability)\n\n![](/images/blog/website-optimizations/Ovr67Pg04mhoDCFmP6zQj.png)\n",
