Hi, when you run the GNU Gatekeeper, you can block spam calls from the well known bots ("MERA RU", "SimpleOPAL" etc.) eg. using a small LUA script in your config. But that alone doesn't stop the load on the server, because often these bots keep on making calls. Fail2ban to the rescue! With this filter definition in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/gnugk.conf you can check fro rejected calls: [Definition] failregex = Dropping call CRV=[0-9]+ from <HOST>:[0-9]+ due to Setup authentication failure ignoreregex = And then you can add this jail definition to /etc/fail2ban/jail.local to block the IP: [gnugk] enabled = true logpath = /var/log/gnugk.log filter = gnugk bantime = 6000 maxretry = 2 action = iptables[name=GnuGk, port=1720, protocol=tcp] Voila! -- Jan Willamowius, Founder of the GNU Gatekeeper Project EMail : j...@willamowius.de Website: https://www.gnugk.org Support: https://www.willamowius.com/gnugk-support.html Relaxed Communications GmbH Frahmredder 91, 22393 Hamburg, Germany Geschäftsführer: Jan Willamowius HRB 125261 (Amtsgericht Hamburg) USt-IdNr: DE286003584 _______________________________________________________ Posting: mailto:Openh323gk-users@lists.sourceforge.net Archive: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=openh323gk-users Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openh323gk-users Homepage: https://www.gnugk.org/
