    If I wanted to do things manually, is it as simple as creating a file with the user/pass details and just editing my vhost config file to use that path and restarting nginx?

    I read it all but I was still confused because there was a line for a script to run. I prefer to do things manually first so I know what the script does automatically (want to only use scripts to save time). Thanks!

    Is there a way to protect a Xenforo page?
    I have a pay where I have a form to take CC payment for guest and I want to have a simple way for people to enter this page without allowing spambots to abuse it.

    For user experience probably better to leverage Cloudflare WAF to block bad actors rather than make legit users jump through more hoops

    I agree. I was looking on XF and it seems they only apply Cloudflare Turnstile on certain pages (registration, etc).
    I couldn't find a way to apply those capcha on specific XF pages.
