Anybody using Crowdsec?
First of all, if you have any experience with Traefik, I'd suggest you to do the reverse proxy stuff with it and install the Crowdsec instance along it. As I didn't have experience using Traefik I went with NPM but now I guess it would have been easier considering the research I had to do... Another reason is, I wanted to implement a geo block and/or another security layer by using ModSecurity (https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity ) besides Crowdsec too. Afaik Traefik has a plugin that integrates ModSecurity easily - unless NPM.

Has anyone tried this on Blackboard online exams??
I don't know about Blackboard, but Moodle will allow quizzes to be run in popups that block most extensions from working; lockdown browsers will block such extensions; and, if you have access to the server, a modified firewall (e.g., ModSecurity) may\* allow blocking this and similar extensions.

Ask HN: What's a good open-source alternative to Cloudflare?
> ModSecurity for WAF: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity
This might be of interest to some: https://www.modsecurity.org/
> Trustwave is announcing the End-of-Life (EOL) of our support for ModSecurity effective July 1, 2024. We will then hand over the maintenance of ModSecurity code back to the open-source community.
Probably not too big of a deal, though.
Also, this might be useful: https://owasp.org/www-project-modsecurity-core-rule-set/
Though there has been some critique of ModSecurity and that ruleset in the past, as something dated and with false positives.
Anyone have any good alternatives?

WAF with reverse proxy
Is there a reason no one hasn't made a Docker template for OWASP Coraza (https://github.com/corazawaf/coraza) or ModSecurity (https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity) for the use of a reverse proxy?
