It is very much faster than fail2ban was. The benefit of not only your logs but of crowd-sourced problem detection as well makes it better than fail2ban. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello Raimund,

Thanks for your comment. Since we release our latest 1.1 version (July 8th), setup is greatly facilitated by the distribution of new packages. Alongside existing ones for Debian and Ubuntu (Bionic, Bullseye, Buster, Focal, Stretch, Focal for x86-64 & arm), we now provide packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Amazon Linux. I am attaching a tutorial to help you get started. Hope this will help!

See how CrowdSec improved
