Firstly, what’s your threat model - as in what are you trying to block? For SSH access, fail2ban works. For bots and scrapers, I’m not sure how effective it is. What jails have your enabled/configured for fail2ban?

I don’t have your setup, but like someone else here said, I use Caddy on Docker as a reverse proxy for all my self-hosted services running in Docker containers. One really effective means of blocking AI scrapers and bots is Anubis - https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis. It might be worth a shot. It works for me.

Amazon wasn’t caught doing shit. “Caught” implies there is a possibility of consequences. Two days from now nobody is going to remember this story and the world will move on and there will be no consequences for this.
