It depends on the spot fail2ban inserts the new firewall rules. If it's before  
                                                                                
                                       
the '--state ESTABLISHED' rule, then the ban will be enforced. Otherwise, the   
                                                                                
                                       
kernel will let the packets through when they reach that rule.

You don't need '-m state --state NEW' in lines 17 and 18 because all packets in
that chain are already known to be new.

I recommend to use always --log-prefix for easy future grepping.
