Ok, so first question... Is the working title too long? :) I referenced this article for the initial idea: https://www.linode.com/community/questions/11143/top-tip-firewalld-and-ipset-country-blacklist My basic outline: - Installing and setting up fail2ban, specifically for sshd - Methods to monitor the fail2ban log or get the sshd jail status from fail2ban-client - How to block IPs by country . - Will include: -- The script to largely automate the process -- A SystemD service file and timerl so updates to network addresses are picked up on a regular basis. (monthly?) If I work on this much more I should probably submit it as a package :) Next steps?
