CrowdSec “Community”
CrowdSec “Community” offering only gets worse and worse!
First, they had raised a paywall around querying details on IP addresses that triggered Alerts. Only 30 queries per week for the “Community”.
Now, they have extended that paywall to cover the whole Alerts feature! Only 500 alerts per month for the “Community”!
Enshitification meets cybersecurity!
To me there’s a major difference depending on the cost of the provided service. I don’t know what features crowdsec provides, but if it’s mostly providing lists and all the blocking etc happens locally, I don’t see how they lose much money on this free service. Gathering the lists is something they’d have to do anyway to service their paying customers.
If Cloudflare stopped making Cloudflare Tunnels free to use, I’d be more understanding since bandwidth costs them relevant amounts of money.
