Hello community,

I have changed the iptables->actionban so that it runs a script instead of the 
iptables command directly.
The other actions remained unchanged; I needed to do this as there are further 
checks and actions I need to
do before banning an IP.

/etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables.conf:

*# actionban = <iptables> -I f2b-<name> 1 -s <ip> -j <blocktype> *
*actionban = /my/path/banip.pl <ip> <failures> <name> <blocktype>*

I reset iptables and reloaded fail2ban and tested manually to verify the script 
is working:

     % *fail2ban-client set asterisk-iptables banip 45.146.164.110*

The script is called, and parameters are correctly received. The script also 
sends and email
which I received and the content is 100% the same as before this modification, 
except for the fact that
I perform a DROP instead of a REJECT, here is the log and generated command:

     2021-09-25 00:20:15 cr_banip.pl : (*45.146.164.110:40:ASTERISK:REJECT*) 
Fail2ban BAN notification
     2021-09-25 00:20:15 cr_banip.pl : Banning:
     2021-09-25 00:20:15 cr_banip.pl : */sbin/iptables -I f2b-ASTERISK 1 -s 
45.146.164.110 -j DROP*

I then can verify that it was added to iptables, by running "iptables -L" I get 
this:

     Chain f2b-ASTERISK (1 references)
     target     prot opt source               destination
     ....
     DROP       all  --  45.146.164.110       anywhere
     ....

However, fail2ban still lists hits from the IP afterward and ultimately the IP 
reaches the limit of 10 again and
it then just mentions that it was banned already:

If I revert my modification and reload fail2ban, this is how the iptables look 
like after (it uses REJECT instead of DROP):

     Chain f2b-ASTERISK (1 references)
     target     prot opt source               destination
     REJECT     all  --  45.146.164.110       anywhere             reject-with 
icmp-port-unreachable

The iptables output seem to be ok though, from my point of view at least...

Thanks for any help!

Can I suggest you add a "-w" to your iptables command. You may find that your 
own command without the -w is beating the actionstart command and stopping it from being 
applied, so, although your chain f2b-ASTERISK looks OK, you may be missing the jump from 
the INPUT chain to f2b-ASTERISK. Your logs may show this as well.

Thanks for replying;

I see what you mean, I tried adding it to the command but doing so and 
reloading everything had the effect
of the rules not being inserted, the chain remained empty:

    Chain f2b-ASTERISK (0 references)

     pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               
destination


I am unsure of what -w does; I am using iptables v1.4.7 and it is not 
documented.
I am also using Fail2ban v0.9.6.

The lockingopt option in /etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables-common.conf is also 
empty.
Just for testing if I add it fail2ban complains that is shall be run using an 
argument and got tons of errors.

Is there a way out of it?
