So, i install Crowdsec and ip tables bouncer and nginx bouncer.

Aso enroll the server.

I see in the [https://app.crowdsec.net/blocklists](https://app.crowdse

that there is a lot of free blocklist....... i need to install this?
if yes, why not install all of them?

Hi there, Jack from CrowdSec here.

Our blocklists provide highly targeted lists of malicious IP addresses
that are known to target specific services. As an example, WordPress
users can subscribe to the WordPress Blocklist, which contains a list
of IP addresses that are known to repeatedly target WordPress sites.
Users on a free plan can subscribe to 2 of our 'third party
blocklists', and if you're on a paid for plan you can subscribe to our
premium blocklists as well (marked with a medal in the UI)

As for Context, you can enable this option to receive additional
context with any new alerts. You can learn more about this and how to
set it up here [https://www.crowdsec.net/blog/simplify-threat-
detection-with-alert-context](https://www.crowdsec.net/blog/simplify-
threat-detection-with-alert-context)

And finally, enabling console\_management means your security engine
is able to receive instructions directly from within the Console. You
can learn some more about that here [https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/co
nsole\_management/intro/](https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/console_manag
ement/intro/)
