I am searching for a firewall for my self hosted services. It should be conpatible with docker, podman and native running services. I should block clients with to many fauled authentication attempts. It should also support blocklists and be as easy to configure as possible (and foss ofc). I took a short look at fail2ban, but the github docs are just lacking so much information that I was looking for (like how to configure it). CrowdSec lookes not foss enough for me.

Any recommendations? Maybe some fail2ban guide?

When using a vpn server, only I could access the services right?

You can easily setup vpn users for friends/family but a random person on the internet won't reach your services if you block access from WAN and forces everyone to go through the vpn server.
