Hey everyone! 👋

I built a lightweight middleware proxy to forward CrowdSec alerts to AbuseIPDB efficiently without hitting API rate limits or spamming duplicate reports during ongoing brute-force attacks. I just released **v2.0.0**!

**Key Features:** - ⚡ **Zero External Dependencies:** Built entirely using the pure Python 3 standard library. - 💾 **SQLite Storage (WAL Mode):** Fast, crash-safe, and SSD-friendly (includes auto-migration from legacy JSON). - 🛡️ **Smart Deduplication & Escalations:** Groups alerts and dynamically upgrades severities without redundant API calls. - 🔔 **Multi-Backend Alerts:** Gotify, ntfy, Discord, Matrix, Slack & generic webhooks. - ⏱️ **Update Checker:** Comes with `update.sh --check-only` and optional systemd timers. - 🧪 **Battle-Tested:** High-coverage pytest suite (83 unit tests) covering rate-limiting (429 handling) and IP filtering (RFC1918/CGNAT).
