      I currently host my own gitlab server. This server is publicly accessible because I have clients from all over connecting to it pushing or pulling code that I develop from them. I have the server publicly limited to 443 and 22. No other protocol or port is allowed. I also have the same thing on the linux side. I know gitlab itself has its own security best practices which I am following, but that is on the linux side. The server is only allowed access to pre-registered clients as well as only ssh keys are allowed. My question is, does PFSense have a rate limit or throttling mechanism that would detect a large amount of traffic on 443 or 22 and block that IP for X time, sort of like fail2ban does? Does PFSense have something similar?
