Fail2ban not banning IPs

[Tony20]

Hello,
Does Fail2ban needs to be config to work Keyhelp?


looking sudo fail2ban-client status sshd it show no banned IPs.

Do I have to edit the /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf for it to work? or I don't need to edit anything?

I changed my ssh default port 22 .. could that be the reason is not banning IPs?

You may try to adjust the port in jail.conf

You may try to adjust the port in jail.conf

I read that jail.conf get overwritten with updates. it say on top "You should not modify this file"
I think keyhelp use a different file. to conf fail2ban.

I try creating the jail.local but it didn't work got this error.

ERROR Failed to access socket path: /var/run/fail2ban/ fail2ban.sock. Is fail2ban running?

maybe there is some kind of misconfiguration.
