Noticed repeated brute-force attempts? Protect your server now - not later.

Webdock’s guide walks you through setting up Fail2Ban on Ubuntu (LEMP/LAMP):

  • Fail2Ban watches your logs (e.g SSH, Apache) and auto-blocks IPs after failed attempts
  • Enable predefined jails for services like SSH, Webmin, WordPress, ProFTP with a couple of config tweaks
  • Configure bans, retries, and ignored IPs - then restart Fail2Ban to apply

Quick steps, minimal guessing, and better default security - with no dashboard required.
