What is CrowdSec?
CrowdSec is a CTI tool leveraging crowdsourced data to identify and block malevolent IPs in real time worldwide. It is an open-source & collaborative IPS able to analyze visitor behavior by parsing logs & provide an adapted response to all kinds of attacks. It also enables users to protect each other. Each time an IP is blocked, all community members are informed so they can also block it. That way, they are generating a real-time crowdsourced CTI database.
CrowdSec is available with a perpetually free Community edition (MIT license), and commercially (custom pricing) on the Enterprise plan with advanced features and support.

Simply a no-brainer service to run on any public facing servers
CrowdSec was first implemented at the most basic level, directly on a webserver running WordPress sites. This worked great as there were ways to connect CrowdSec to WordPress and capture failed logins, DDoS attacks, malicious users, etc. However, as I quickly realized that the true potential of CrowdSec would be to have it on the servers pointing a central Crowdsec Local API on the router, this way it would protect the entire network from malicious users/IPs, no matter which server or domain they were hoping to target.
- Provides great integrations with tools you already use, such as fail2ban, Cloudflare, WordPress, NGINX, Linux Firewalls, etc.
- Lightweight agents can run on individual servers and report to a main security engine so that if there's an attack on one server and a block is implemented, the entire network can be protected
- There are a lot of ways to receive alerts and store logs
- CrowdSec Central API is a nice way to manage everything externally
- Getting CrowdSec to run on OPNsense can be a challenge, but that's also a limitation of the OS
- You can only subscribe to a couple of feeds before paying an unknown amount of money that's part of their "Enterprise" package. So, there could be better transparency.

- It flat-out blocks malicious IPs from accessing any PC on my network.
- It's free-tier makes this a no brainer to implement
