Bad IP lists in open source (free) version

Hi guys I'm confused regarding the sources of bad IPs in the open souce (free) version. Does everyone get access to the crowdsourced IP list? (the list of bad IPs collected from all the other Crowdsec instances out there). Or is that only available as a paid blocklist?

The website only mentions the "Crowdsec Intelligence Blocklist" which is a premium addon. But the blog posts and YouTube videos indicate the crowdsourced bad IPs are available in the open source version.

Hello, We have added some documentation recently about the community blocklist to explain in more detail what you receive: https://doc.crowdsec.net/docs/next/central_api/community_blocklist/ The Crowdsec Intelligence Blocklist is based on the community blocklist, but will contain all IPs, regardless of the scenarios you use, and you can consume it with crowdsec or with your firewall directly using integrations (https://docs.crowdsec.net/u/integrations/intro)

@blotus Thanks. Is there a limit on the number of security engines that can be connected in the free plan?

@blotus Cool. I'm a solo dev so I don't need team features etc. What's the cheapest paid plan you guys do? Is it the $31/engine (per server) SaaS Enterprise plan?
