Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server?

  That doesn’t count as a firewall though no? I use traefik as my reverse proxy (and like one thing on nginx that also goes through traefik ultimately) but I still put crowdsec on top

    No, but putting a bunch of those services behind a reverse proxy would lower the amount of open ports. It would also have the side effect of making firewall configuration easier, since you don’t need rules for all those ports anymore.

      True, I love not having to open ports anymore, game changing.
