NS7 vs NS8 requirements based on hosted cloud VPS only

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

In this scenario you install the single node on the VPS and the built-in firewall is enough.

As said:

NS8 has a built-in firewall

I would like some thoughts on best practices to install and run NS8 on a VPS.
Especially having security and massive attempts and probes for open ports etc.

Probe attempts can be blocked/mitigated with

1. Crowdsec application (released)
2. Change of ssh default port (documented here NS8 Change node SSH port 22 permanently - #15 by davidep)
3. Limit HTTP access from certain IPs (planned and documented here How do I prevent the administration page from being accessible from the Internet? - #2 by davidep)
