What setups/softwares do you use to secure your server?

All I do is run the process as user with no login shell.

The topic came to mind after reading this post Is Authelia enough without fail2ban or crowdsec?

You can get some pretty cheap ones like sub $10/year. My current ones 2 cpu 3.5gb ram 64gb ssd for $33 a year.

Where are you finding rates like that? Racknerds’ cheapest option is around that price but doesn’t even have 1 full gig of ram.

https://lowendbox.com/ I have used their deals every time I needed a server. One time I had a cheap rack nerd server on hdds then they migrated years later to free ssd upgrade haha
