The tool would then ban the suspicious IP addresses based on the predefined number of failed login attempts to stop the attacks. Fail2Ban uses jails to monitor log files for authentication failures and other entries that can be considered suspicious activities.<\/p>\n<p>It can be configured to send an email and\/or ban the attacker\u2019s IP address for a pre-defined length of time. After the ban period is over, the attacking IP address will be automatically unbanned. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ubuntu-hosting\/\">configure Fail2ban on Ubuntu 22.04<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662b205815ee5\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662b205815ee5\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-22-04\/#Prerequisites\" title=\"Prerequisites\">Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-22-04\/#Step-1-Login-to-the-server\" title=\"Step 1.

By default, the value is 10 minutes with 10 minutes finder on five retries. It means that Fail2ban jail with active filtering will ban the attacker&#8217;s IP address for 10 minutes after it has retried the same attack in 10 minutes (find time) x 5 times (retries).<\/p>\n<p>It is advised to set different ban times as some banning should automatically be longer than others, including retries that should be less or more. This is a personal preference, but setting the time long enough to disrupt malicious user activities is preferred. If you want to ban the attacking IP address permanently, you can set the bantime value to -1.<\/p>\n<p>In this tutorial, we are going to adjust the bantime to 60 minutes.<\/p>\n<pre>bantime = 60m<\/pre>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42397 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fail2ban_bantime.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fail2ban_bantime.jpg 658w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fail2ban_bantime-300x74.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fail2ban_bantime-150x37.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Email-Notifications\"><\/span>Email Notifications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to receive an email every time fail2ban bans an IP address in jail, you can set an e-mail address in the jail.

By default, there are some jails we can use, the jails with filters and actions created by the community covering many popular server applications.
