Beware:

> Crowdsec is in BETA version. It shouldn't, and didn't crash any production so far we know, but some features might be missing or undergo evolutions. IP Blocklists are limited to very-safe-to-ban IPs only (~5% of the global database so far, will grow soon)

Absolutely. We owe that transparency to our users. The 1.0 should be out in a month from now, and it will include a Local API, an abstraction layer between the core and the bouncers & data sources. This will help the community to dev their own scenario, bouncers & data source connectors. But at that stage, we had no report of CrowdSec daemon bugging a server, crashing it or over consume resources. It's even used by some hosting companies, to process their reverse proxies logs, without any meaningful perf impact. That being said, it's still beta because some features or architectural points could vary a lot at that early stage. We only distribute 5 to 10% of the IP rep DB because we are over cautious and don't want any false positive to happen. Our Consensus algorithm is getting better by the week by we are cautious by nature (and experience)
