Describe the bug 🐛
When reaching the appsec endpoint through a proxy (in my case envoy, but would be the same with anything else), setting crowdsecAppsecUnreachableBlock to false has no effect. When using a L7 proxy to reach the appsec endpoint, if appsec is down, the proxy will respond (usually with a 502, 503 or 504 error code). In this case, Traefik will block every requests no matter crowdsecAppsecUnreachableBlock
Expected behavior 👀
Appsec endpoint replying with 502, 503 or 504, it should be considered as appsec being unavailable, so crowdsecAppsecUnreachableBlock setting is honored
Context 🔎
When I shut down crowdsec, traefik replies with a 403 for any req, despite crowdsecAppsecUnreachableBlock being false. In Traefik's logs :
