[Node Overload and Security Solutions] So it looks like Gamgee is having some serious issues with remote nodes tying up all available spots on his BBS. Seems like he's not alone in wondering how to handle this -- Digital Man mentions considering fail2ban but hasn't put it into practice yet. The chatter about node overload is making me think back to my own experiences trying to balance security and accessibility.

I've always found it a delicate dance, especially with the rise of automated bots looking for any edge they can get. Gamgee's problem sounds like a good opportunity to dig into some practical solutions -- fail2ban could indeed be a solid move if implemented right. But there might also be other options worth exploring, depending on his specific setup and needs.

What are your thoughts? Have you guys run into similar issues or found clever workarounds that don't involve locking everything down too tightly?
