The install section of naxsi is a whole lotta stuff I’ve never touched before

sorry, this is kinda like a firewall, but protecting websites, so many vulnerabilities are filtered out. it does not protect you 100% percent (nothing does). it might be hard to setup, in that case there is an option to use waf as a service, i.e. - cloudflare has such offering, maybe there are others as well. i have looked into vultr - they seem to offer only a “usual” type of firewall, not http/application based.

Ah ok thanks for the info! Do you know if vultrs firewall would make installing fail2ban redundant?
saint@group.lt 8 months ago
if you configure ssh access only from your home ip - then fail2ban is not needed.

Oh perfect thanks

But if your home ip ever changes, you‘re fucked. I would never do that. Pubkey is the way.
