crowdsec VS Cloudbox

Hey we actually built the second part as a product. Its a modern revamp of fail2ban combined with crowdsourcing aspect to deliver an up-to-date blocklist of active threats. You can check it out at https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec

Today we are pleased to announce the launch of CrowdSec Engine 1.5 - this is a huge milestone for the project and one that would not have been possible without the help of this community. You can read see the full change log over on GitHub here https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec/releases

wget https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec/releases/latest/download/crowdsec-release.tgz server:> tar xzvf crowdsec-release.tgz https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec/releases/latest/download/crowdsec-release.tgz server: > tar xzvf crowdsec-release.tgz server:> cd crowdsec-v* && sudo ./wizard.sh -i

This tool crowdsec.net is really interesting to mitigate and enact defense systems for different scenarios.

Like in the case of Debian, you can do anything you want with it, for free, period. You just need to embed this license when you redistribute the product.

You should check out https://crowdsec.net. More advanced, uses crowdsources cti to block attacks even before they happen. Also both nginx and captcha is supported. Disclaimer: I am head of community. Visit /r/CrowdSec or our Discord at https://discord.gg/crowdsec if you have questions :-)

Do I need something like crowdsec, or is WireGuard secure enough on its own?

Before falling too much in love with Fail2Ban try taking a look at https://crowdsec.net. Similar functionality but way more advanced (but easier to configure). New project that leverages the power of the crowd and shares information of attacks among users so they help each other out protecting themselves.

I have just got my first seedbox and im trying to get it setup, first thing i would like to do is get plex working with my existing libraries stored on Google Drive. I have followed all the guides ( How to mount Google Drive for Plex usage | RapidSeedbox: Help Center & Google Drive API Client ID and Client Secret · Cloudbox/Cloudbox Wiki · GitHub )

Plex + https://cloudbox.works/ on a server in a friendly country. Fully automatic once you set it up.

Swizzin, Cloudbox or /r/plexshares are the easiest ways.

If you're willing to put in the work, I recommend taking a look at Cloudbox.

Biggest established tooling projects are Cloudbox (Docker), and Swizzin' (not Docker).

See also Cloudbox, and Swizzin'. The latter is a more complete, alibeit not Dockery, soln.

You'd probably prefer to look at something like Cloudbox then, which is a kind of Dockerized version of the same thing. Also pretty popular.
