Just curious. > I installed your github version over the debian package. The latest date on any of the debian stuff was 2013, quite long in the tooth I thought. My logs since fixing robots.txt and installing this later version look much different now.
From my limited reading so far, I see that any deaths and diversions as my friend JoAnne Dow would call them, have a lifetime of 600 minutes, or 10 hours, making the iptables rules added somewhat self limiting. But apache2 must not be properly configured, the access log remains empty. And I see no activity of fail2ban after the restart in its log, so conclude the difference is all the typo's fixed in robots.txt. The error.log looks fairly clean but has this note on any restarts of apache2: [Fri Dec 04 16:37:47.029991 2020] [ssl:warn] [pid 7047:tid 140174172483648] AH01873: Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache] But I'm not apache2 expert enough to decode that. > Release 0.11.2 (2020/11/23) - heal-the-world-with-security-tools ยท > fail2ban/fail2ban (github.com) > <https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/releases/tag/0.11.2> My thanks for any input from folks more familiar with such.
