Why do you need then Adaptive Ban, it is exactly meant for blocking remote IPs which connects to your system on allowed ports with wrong credentials.

Yes. By default all "internal" (LAN/VPN) networks are whitelisted. > Regards > Michael Knill Michael http://www.mksolutions.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
