# Overview
he modular design of this system enables the extension of its functionality through the integration of existing Traefik plugins, such as Crowdsec and Geoblock.
## Traefik plugins
For a complete list of available plugins, please refer to the [Plugin Catalog](https://plugins.traefik.io/plugins).
### Crowdsec Bouncer
When installing Crowdsec via the Pangolin installer, the Crowdsec Traefik Bouncer will be automatically installed and configured by default. The configuration can be customized to meet your specific requirements. For detailed guidance, refer to the [documentation](https://docs.fossorial.io/Modules/crowdsec).
For additional information, consult the following resources:
- [Traefik Plugin Catalog](https://plugins.traefik.io/plugins/6335346ca4caa9ddeffda116/crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin)
- [Github Repository](https://github.com/maxlerebourg/crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin)
### Geoblock
Geoblock is a straightforward Traefik plugin that allows you to block or permit requests based on their country of origin. It leverages [GeoJs.io](https://www.geojs.io/) for geolocation services.
For more details, please refer to the following resources:

# Crowdsec
CrowdSec is a modern, open-source, collaborative behavior detection engine, integrated with a global IP reputation network. It functions as a massively multiplayer firewall, analyzing visitor behavior and responding appropriately to various types of attacks.
## Installation
Crowdsec can be installed using the Pangolin Installer.
## Configuration
By default, Crowdsec is installed with a basic configuration, which includes the [Crowdsec Bouncer Traefik plugin](https://plugins.traefik.io/plugins/6335346ca4caa9ddeffda116/crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin).
### Choose the right logs
#### Syslog
For systems utilizing Syslog, the following volumes should be added to the `docker-compose.yml` file:
```yaml
service:
crowdsec:
volumes:
- /var/log/auth.log:/var/log/auth.log:ro
- /var/log/syslog:/var/log/syslog:ro
```
Create a `syslog.yaml` file under `/config/crowdsec/acquis.d` with the following content:
```yaml
filenames:
- /var/log/auth.log
- /var/log/syslog
labels:
type: syslog
```
#### Journalctl
To log iptables to journalctl, execute the following command on your host system:
```bash
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "iptables: "
```
Update the `docker-compose.yml` file as follows:
```yaml
service:
crowdsec:
image: crowdsecurity/crowdsec:latest-debian
environment:
COLLECTIONS: crowdsecurity/traefik crowdsecurity/appsec-virtual-patching crowdsecurity/appsec-generic-rules crowdsecurity/linux crowdsecurity/iptables
volumes:
- ./config/crowdsec:/etc/crowdsec
- ./config/crowdsec/db:/var/lib/crowdsec/data
- ./config/traefik/logs:/var/log/traefik:ro
- /var/log/journal:/var/log/host:ro
```
Create a `journalctl.yaml` file under `/config/crowdsec/acquis.d` with the following content:
```yaml
source: journalctl
journalctl_filter:
- "--directory=/var/log/host/"
labels:
type: syslog
```
### Securing the Host System (SSH)
By default, only Traefik requests are secured through the Crowdsec bouncer. To extend protection to your host system (e.g., SSH), follow these steps to add a firewall bouncer:
1. Install the Crowdsec repositories. Refer to the [installation documentation](https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/next/getting_started/install_crowdsec/#install-our-repositories):
```bash
curl -s https://install.crowdsec.net | sudo sh
```
2. Install the firewall bouncer. For Debian/Ubuntu systems using IPTables, refer to the [documentation](https://docs.crowdsec.net/u/bouncers/firewall/):
```bash
sudo apt install crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-iptables
```
3. Create an API key for the firewall bouncer to communicate with your CrowdSec Docker container. ("vps-firewall" is a placeholder name for the key):
```bash
docker exec -it crowdsec cscli bouncers add vps-firewall
```
4. Copy the dispalyed API key and insert it into the bouncer's configuration file:
```bash
nano /etc/crowdsec/bouncers/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer.yaml
```
5. Restart the firewall bouncer:
```bash
systemctl restart crowdsec-firewall-bouncer
```
6. Update the `docker-compose.yml` file to expose communication port `8080` for the CrowdSec container and restart the container:
```yaml
service:
crowdsec:
ports:
- 6060:6060
- 8080:8080
```
7. Verify communication between the firewall bouncer and the CrowdSec container by running:
```bash
docker exec crowdsec cscli metrics
```
The output should look like this:
```bash
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Local API Bouncers Metrics |
+---------------------------+----------------------+--------+------+
| Bouncer | Route | Method | Hits |
+---------------------------+----------------------+--------+------+
| traefik-bouncer | /v1/decisions/stream | HEAD | 2 |
| traefik-bouncer@10.0.4.20 | /v1/decisions | GET | 3 |
| vps-firewall | /v1/decisions/stream | GET | 84 | <---------
+---------------------------+----------------------+--------+------+
```
## Custom Ban Page
To display a custom ban page to attackers, follow these steps:
1. Place a `ban.html` page in the `/config/traefik` directory. If you prefer not to create your own, you can download the official example:
```bash
wget https://github.com/maxlerebourg/crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin/blob/main/ban.html
```
2. Update the `/config/traefik/dynamic_config.yml` file to include the following:
```yaml
http:
middlewares:
crowdsec:
plugin:
crowdsec:
banHTMLFilePath: /etc/traefik/ban.html
```
## Custom Captcha Page
To use a custom captcha page, follow these steps:
1. Place a `captcha.html` page in the `/config/traefik` directory. If you don't want to create your own, you can download the official example:
```bash
wget https://github.com/maxlerebourg/crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin/blob/main/captcha.html
```
2. Update the `/config/traefik/dynamic_config.yml` file with the following configuration, replacing `<SERVICE>` with your captcha provider (e.g. hCaptcha, reCaptcha, Turnstile), and `<KEY>` with the appropriate site and secret keys:
```yaml
http:
middlewares:
crowdsec:
plugin:
crowdsec:
captchaHTMLFilePath: /etc/traefik/captcha.html
captchaGracePeriodSeconds: 300
captchaProvider: <SERVICE>
captchaSiteKey: <KEY>
captchaSecretKey: <KEY>
```
## Testing
You can test your configuration by adding a temporary ban or captcha for your IP. The ban will last for one minute.
To add a ban:
```bash
docker exec crowdsec cscli decisions add --ip <YOUR IP> -d 1m --type ban
```
To trigger a captcha challenge:
```bash
docker exec crowdsec cscli decisions add --ip <YOUR IP> -d 1m --type captcha
```

# GeoBlock
## Installation
To integrate GeoBlock into your Traefik setup, follow the steps below:
1. Add the following configuration to your `/config/traefik/traefik_config.yml` file:
```yaml
entryPoints:
websecure:
http:
middlewares:
- geoblock@file
experimental:
plugins:
geoblock:
moduleName: github.com/PascalMinder/geoblock
version: v0.3.2
```
2. Add the following configuration to your `/config/traefik/dynamic_config.yml` file. Setting `blackListMode: false` enables GeoBlock in whitelist mode, allowing only the specified countries. Remember to add the appropriate countries when traveling. A list of country codes can be found in the [documentation](https://github.com/PascalMinder/geoblock#full-plugin-sample-configuration).
```yaml
http:
middlewares:
geoblock:
plugin:
geoblock:
silentStartUp: false
allowLocalRequests: true
logLocalRequests: false # change to true to see logs and verify if it is working
logAllowedRequests: false # change to true to see logs and verify if it is working
logApiRequests: false # change to true to see logs and verify if it is working
api: "https://get.geojs.io/v1/ip/country/{ip}"
apiTimeoutMs: 500
cacheSize: 25
forceMonthlyUpdate: true
allowUnknownCountries: false
unknownCountryApiResponse: "nil"
blackListMode: false
countries:
- DE # add/replace with your country code
```
3. Restart Traefik to apply the changes:
```bash
docker restart traefik
```
## Testing
To monitor GeoBlock activities in the Traefik logs, enable logging by setting the following options to `true`:
```yaml
logLocalRequests: true
logAllowedRequests: true
logApiRequests: true
```
