Using Fail2ban to protect exposed services

I’m wondering if I’m starting to outgrow Tailscale… my wife keeps having networking issues on Android due to Tailscale, the Nvidia Shield kills the Tailscale app randomly, and my parents’ TV doesn’t have a Tailscale app…

I feel like the time is approaching to publicly expose some of my services to the internet…

Any other tips?

Crowdsec is absolutetly the way to go. Just be aware you need the engine and what they call a “bouncer” both running, but they have easy instructions about how to install both.

Theres also a plugin for opnsense which is pretty much plug’n’play.
But iz doesnt have access to service access logs so it will be a bit more handicapped.
