What's Wrong?
CVP has declined my account multiple times despite the use case being routine homelab administration on personally-owned hardware — not security research.
The CVP form assumes the applicant is a pentester, CTF player, or researcher. Homelab operators are a distinct category: infrastructure owners managing their own servers, the same as any Linux sysadmin. This use case should not require CVP eligibility at all.
Trigger examples (all on hardware I personally own)
- Editing Loki alerting rules that reference IP-rate anomalies on my own reverse proxy
- Reading an IP blocklist config on my own OpenWRT router
- VPN config files
- Prometheus/Loki monitoring rules with words like "scanner" or "block" in names
- SSH commands to my own router
What Should Happen?
Either:
- (a) Homelab/sysadmin use is explicitly carved out from CVP requirements, or
- (b) The CVP review path correctly handles "infrastructure owner" as a valid category distinct from "security researcher"
