Does Caddy or Traefik get me anything I don't already have?

Except that everything I under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.

If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.

If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try with a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.

I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.

That’s way something like cloudflare is populate, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.

I’ve recently introduced CrowdSec and crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin into my setup and it’s really great to see it block all those spam bots and brute force attempts.

Do you have a guide on how to do his? I couldn’t get the middleware to work to actually bounce connections

You have to actually add the middleware into the (default) chain for your https entrypoint (I think in most tutorials it’s called websecure) - in my static conf I have this:

address: :443                                                  

http:                                                          

  middlewares:                                                 

    - crowdsec-bouncer@file                                    

    - secure-headers@file 

And in my dynamic conf I have this:

middlewares:

crowdsec-bouncer:

  plugin:

    crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin:

      CrowdsecLapiKey: "### Enter your LAPI Key here ###"

      Enabled: true

Thanks for the tip !! I will certainly give it a look, It’s kinda annoying for my family members to always connect via wireguard.

For me it’s fine though, I even route my traffic to ProtonVPN but my family is always nagging how they need to “do something” to get access to the hosted services or that it “doesn’t work”.

Which crowdsec lists did you use? I’m on the free plan and can only subscribe to three of them and most of everything on the free tier looks like is useless since my Suricata can sync its rules with Proofpoint ET Open rulesets which are significantly more robust

I’ve only subscribed to the “Free proxies” blocklist. But these are only additional blocklists. The main attraction of CrowdSec is their “CAPI” (Central API) which has all the current malicious actors detected in the network of CrowdSec instances.
