Jail – a Jail in Fail2ban is the glue that holds it all together – this ties a Filter, together with an Action and the relevant log file.Install Fail2banInstalling Fail2ban on Debian/ Proxmox is as easy as it gets – just use the apt package manager. What we need to do is ban any IP address where the filter is triggered 3 times. Action – an Action is what we’ll do if the filter is found. In our case, we want to search for the words ‘authentication failure’ in the log because that’s what the pvedaemon writes when a failed login attempt occurs.
