Project mention: Announcing udwall: A New Tool for Making UFW and Docker Play Nice With Each Other | dev.to | 2025-11-23
Complex Uninstall: Historically, removing the tool was risky. It required manually stripping iptables rules, and doing it wrong could lock you out of your server. > Note: ufw-docker recently added an uninstall command.

vps-harden
Idempotent VPS hardening for Ubuntu — SSH, firewall, fail2ban, kernel tuning, auditd, SOPS secrets, and optional AI agent workspace security. Dry-run first, lockout protection built in. (by ranjith-src)
Project mention: Show HN: VPS-Harden, an Idempotent Bash Script to Harden Ubuntu VPS – OpenClaw | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-02-16Zero dependencies — single Bash file, no Python, no Ansible, no agents. curl | bash to install, sudo vps-harden to run.
The lockout protection was the hardest part to get right. The script disables password auth and restricts SSH to a single user, so if the key deployment or AllowUsers config is wrong, you're locked out.
It validates everything before reloading sshd, and if validation fails, it removes the config and rolls back.
Your existing session stays alive throughout.
Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ranjith-src/vps-harden/mai... | bash
