Let me think about that, it wasn't part of the original idea which was around the linode article. I definitely want to mention fail2ban in the title as it's what tells us where the intrusion attempts are coming from. Ok, so I drafted this email, and then went down the rabbit hole for about an hour... I've added the ability to block specific IPs as well so it's not just about countries. As far as the title: "A layered approach to intrusion prevention with fail2ban and firewalld blacklists" Still too long?
