Comment on OpnSense + Crowdsec = comfort
jello@programming.dev 1 week agoIs there an alternative you suggest? I use Crowd-Sec in part because I don’t know of anything else that does the same job. That is, blocks malicious IPs without snooping on all traffic content (looking at you, Cloudflare).

If your services are private they should be behind access authorization or completely private access. Scanning should be a non-issue.
You can further mitigate scanning by getting wildcard certs, putting A/AAAA records on an obfuscated sub-domain rather than the base domain, and not using wildcard CNAME’s.
If they services are public you should be using a CDN anyway. If you don’t like the way Cloudflare does things they’re not the only CDN around, but some of the privacy issue is moot when running a public service.
I wouldn’t say the privacy issues are moot when running public services, as metadata is quite valuable. Cloudflare will get a lot of information like who your visitors are, how often they visit, how long are they staying on a page yada yada
So you dont have an alternative suggestion?
