Topic: Fail2ban not working

Hello,

fail2ban doesn't seem to block anything, after the iRedmail installation. I did some tests using ssh login failures, But my IP is not getting banned. During iRedmail installation, I have accepted the default firewall settings provided by the iRedmail package.

Please help.
Thanks.

Re: Fail2ban not working

iRedMail configures Fail2ban to bypass some internal networks, e.g. 192.168.x.x, 172.16.x.x. Did you test ssh from these internal network?

Check /etc/fail2ban/jail.local, parameter 'ignoreip ='.

The problem is solved. The ssh events were not logged as errors. Please close this ticket. Thanks.
