Become a sponsor to Evert R.

Hi, I'm Evert 👋

I build open-source tools for people who run Linux servers themselves — solo sysadmins, small teams, and anyone keeping production alive without a big ops department. My nginx-proxy automation runs on thousands of servers, and over the years I've shipped dozens of self-hosting and Docker tools used across the community.

What I'm building now: EzyShield

EzyShield is an open-source, AI-assisted fail2ban alternative for Linux. It watches your logs, detects attacking IPs, and bans them with escalating, strike-based bans — locally via nftables and, optionally, at the Cloudflare edge. The rule engine runs fully offline; AI is consulted only for the ambiguous traffic. It's AGPL-3.0, self-hosted, and dry-run by default — you watch before you block.

Why sponsor?

I want EzyShield to stay free, open, and genuinely self-hosted — no locked features, no telemetry, no "open core" bait. Your sponsorship pays for the thing that's actually scarce: focused time to build it in the open.

Sponsoring directly funds:

• 🛡️ New detections & integrations (more log sources, more enforcement targets)
• 📖 Docs and guides that respect your time
• 🐛 Fast issue triage and real maintenance
• 🌍 Keeping the core AGPL and free, forever

Even a small monthly amount tells me this matters — and keeps independent, self-hosted security tooling alive. Thank you. 🙏

🇧🇷 Em português

Eu crio ferramentas open-source para quem administra os próprios servidores Linux — sysadmins solo, times pequenos, gente que mantém produção sem um time de ops gigante. O EzyShield é uma alternativa ao fail2ban com IA: observa seus logs, detecta IPs atacantes e aplica bans escalonados — localmente via
nftables e, opcionalmente, na borda da Cloudflare. As regras rodam 100% offline; a IA só entra no tráfego ambíguo. É AGPL-3.0, self-hosted e roda em dry-run por padrão.

Seu apoio financia tempo dedicado pra desenvolver tudo isso no aberto e manter o core livre e gratuito, pra sempre. Obrigado! 🙏
