I have been running crowdsec on my OpenWRT firewall for a bit now, I am just curious as to what others think about it?

Thank you @irmadlad the webui you suggested is showing the logs a lot better than my vibe coded HA plug ins (both my ssh honey pot and my plug in showed nothing) looking over the logs shows so much activity that is happening.

Crowdsec does it by using crowd-sourced blocklists (hence the name). So if an IP triggers a scenario on other machines, that malicious address will be proactively added to your blocklist before it ever gets a chance to impact your machine.

That is the big advantage of crowdsec over reactive-only solutions, like fail2ban.
