  • Fail2ban Sucks

    I think ssh on a non-standard port is a no-brainer, have been doing this for years.

    But at some point I got too many log entries of failed ssh access attempts. So I looked into fail2ban, but found the system too involved, and I don't like python for this kind of thing to start with. Then I started looking for alternatives, because I figured you only need something very simple, that checks certain log files and then instructs the kernel through netfilter to drop traffic from all infracting IPs. I like single-binary applications, especially for things installed outside the normal package manager. Found a skeleton of a golang app that claimed to work (it didn't), but I managed to rework it, and it serves my use cases: https://github.com/pepa65/fail2drop

  • Can't Direct Traffic to Cloud Pi-Hole

    I have a GCP instance running Debian 10 and installed nftables, am using this script to whitelist ports 22 and 53 (TCP) and 53 (UDP) for my home network only (using ddns because my home network's public IP is not static), and installed Pi-Hole. For upstream DNS server, I added my home network's IP address (I know this will randomly change). On my router (Advanced Tomato), I have OpenDNS as my DNS server, and in dnsmasq, I have added the line: dhcp-option=6,11.222.33.44 (11.222.33.44 being the static, public IP of my GCP instance). I am not getting any activity/queries.
