    Hi everyone,

    I am over at my parents' place working on the BBS and I managed to get their
    IP banned in my system. I learned how to unban an IP in fail2ban today.
    LOL

    LOL, done that to myself and blocked my ssh access, why I was firewalling ssh from my net, I don't know. Had to put the Pi onto a monitor and undo the ban :)

    Hello Sean,

    Luckily I used my VPN to ssh directly into the box and tell fail2ban to unban it. You would not believe how huge my combined jails are in f2b.

    I gave up with fail2ban shortly afterwards and wrong a script to monitor dmesg and ban those in foomurri and also send them to abuseidp

    f2b isn't too bad once you understand how it works but in order fore it to monitor MBSDE's telnet port, I had
    Microsoft Copilot write the filter and jail for me. I am terrible with regex.

    Never tried CoPilot. I used Claude for forecasts, simply because the charges are cheaper. For biiger stuff I tend to to stick to ChatGPT
