==== Fail2Ban ====
Fail2Ban is a contrib that blocks IP addresses involved in brute force logon attempts and such. See [[Fail2ban]]. In order to make Fail2Ban work with WordPress, the user "holck" posted the following code in thread https://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,53711.msg279902.html in the SME 9 Contribs forum. Holck notes that the standard jail for WordPress appears to work, but does not block the offending IP addresses. <blockquote>[wordpress-hard]</blockquote><blockquote>enabled = true</blockquote><blockquote>filter = wordpress-hard</blockquote><blockquote>logpath = /var/log/messages</blockquote><blockquote>maxretry = 3</blockquote><blockquote>action = smeserver-iptables[port="80,443",protocol=tcp,bantime=1800]</blockquote><blockquote>backend = polling</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>[wordpress-soft]</blockquote><blockquote>enabled = true</blockquote><blockquote>filter = wordpress-soft</blockquote><blockquote>logpath = /var/log/messages</blockquote><blockquote>action = smeserver-iptables[port="80,443",protocol=tcp,bantime=1800]</blockquote><blockquote>backend = polling </blockquote>
