hi jail "apache-fakegooglebot.conf" is a good idea. but, if I have it on "active", it bans the google into jail!
therefore I have defined in jail.local following: ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8 ::1 66.249.64.0/24 66.249.65.0/24 66.249.66.0/24 66.249.67.0/24 66.249.68.0/24 66.249.69.0/24 66.249.70.0/24 66.249.71.0/24 66.249.72.0/24 66.249.73.0/24 66.249.74.0/24 66.249.75.0/24 66.249.76.0/24 66.249.77.0/24 66.249.78.0/24 66.249.79.0/24 66.249.80.0/24 66.249.81.0/24 66.249.82.0/24 66.249.83.0/24 66.249.84.0/24 66.249.85.0/24 66.249.86.0/24 66.249.87.0/24 66.249.88.0/24 66.249.89.0/24 66.249.90.0/24 66.249.91.0/24 66.249.92.0/24 66.249.93.0/24 66.249.94.0/24 66.249.95.0/24 it's a very long line! I've checked all adresses from 66.249.64.0/24 to 66.249.95.0/24 they are all owned by google in fail2ban.log there reads like this: fail2ban.filter [25921]: INFO [apache-fakegooglebot] Ignore 66.249.66.75 by ip and !not! anymore likme this: 2019-05-30 10:17:10,381 fail2ban.actions [3900]: NOTICE [recidive] Restore Ban 66.249.64.192 2019-05-30 10:17:10,394 fail2ban.actions [3900]: NOTICE [recidive] Restore Ban 66.249.64.195 2019-05-30 10:17:10,410 fail2ban.actions [3900]: NOTICE [recidive] Restore Ban 66.249.64.198 2019-05-30 10:17:10,433 fail2ban.actions [3900]: NOTICE [recidive] Restore Ban 66.249.64.199 2019-05-30 10:17:10,453 fail2ban.actions [3900]: NOTICE [recidive] Restore Ban 66.249.64.203 2019-05-30 10:17:10,473 fail2ban.actions [3900]: NOTICE [recidive] Restore Ban 66.249.64.216 2019-05-30 10:17:10,494 fail2ban.actions [3900]: NOTICE [recidive] Restore Ban 66.249.64.217 2019-05-30 10:17:10,514 fail2ban.actions [3900]: NOTICE [recidive] Restore Ban 66.249.64.218 I think, its a good idea to write the above long line in file jail.local beginning with "ignoreip =" yours very Klaus -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Ihr Klaus Lehmann http://allegronet.de * eMail: allegro...@t-online.de * phone: 03528-452 807(fax 809) * mobil: 0171-953 7843 allegronet.de * Klaus Lehmann * D-01454 Radeberg * Bahnhofstr. 1 zuständiges Finanzamt: FA Hoyerswerda; zuständige Kammer: IHK Dresden; zuständige Aufsichtsbehörde: Gewerbeamt Radeberg; USt-IdNr: DE247550760 * Software für zufriedene Bibliothekare: 1000x bewaehrt und ergiebig * Bereits 4x allegro-utf8.
