crowdsec-haproxy-bouncer is failing to spot attempted intrusions. Parser failures maybe.
Hello. I installed the crowdsec-haproxy bouncer on OPNSense using both the docs and the blog about it. I did adjust the instructions on the docs to the file locations for freeBSD. It appears operational, sometimes but rarely there are bans appearing. I have set up for turnstile captcha and bans although I think is only triggering bans.
I however see a lot of intrusion attempts on the haproxy logs that seem to NOT have triggered any action from crowdsec. Digging into it as far as I am able to, it appears to me that the included haproxy parser is failing most of the time.
I've done a 'cscli explain --file /var/log/haproxy/latest.log --type haproxy' and please see the examples:

Haproxy bouncer try to pull expired decisions from LAPI
Hello, I have crowdsec api error with haproxy bouncer. Here is the log

A little randomly, Crowdsec's main website will not be reachable
My guess is, some component of the "https://app.crowdsec.net/" is not able to load, possibly the first/primary part and according to Chrome's DevTools, it is - nothing loads
Attached a screenshot of my Uptime - Kuma for Crowdsec behind my OPNSense that is my Multi-site LAPI - this tracks for my Chrome browser too - if I switch on my phone to 5G, it loads no problem
Is there anything we would need to do to prevent CDN/Cloud/Crowdsec IPs from getting on our/your lists? This is my guess that it is Crowdsec blocking Crowdsec, but it might be my Pihole+Unbound config, but, AFAIK your primary domain has never found itself on the Adblock lists....

Openresty bouncer not working?
Since discovering that my bouncer wasn't properly working yesterday I've completly reworked my reverse proxy setup.
Now I'm using an Ubuntu 22.04 machine running openresty. Yet I can't seem to get the bouncer working with my LAPI (LAPI says bouncer never pulled info from API). I have the include line in the nginx.conf.
This is my config:...
whitelist from file
Hi all!
I have a custom script modifying a whitelist file that can be downloaded from a website.
I have set a whitelist up with the data attribute (source_url, dest_file, type) and I'm wondering if it automatically downloads the file periodically, or only whenever crowdsec restarts.
Any help is much appreciated....
Whitelist not working?
Hi all,
it seems like I've been getting my own IP banned even though I have a whitelist in place... My whitelist is placed in postoverflows is that still ok? As I don't see it popping up in the metrics of my LAPI. I also have the whitelist installed on all servers in the distributed server setup, is that needed?
Thanks!...

Crowdsec docker_host
How does one confirm crowdsec can see my containers via dockersocket? Do I still have to list them via acquis.yaml? For example I added the radarr-bf and radarr parser I can see it listed in metrics but it’s not parsing??

Chaining bouncer inside access_by_lua_block
Hi everyone! I'm setting up an OpenResty bouncer but I need it chain it before a different module (which is a custom DDoS protection script) so that the module that follows after the bouncer is the final one that completes the request. My
access_by_lua_block
is roughly as follows:
```lua
-- snip
local bouncer = require "lua/bouncer"...
