    How to create jail in Fail2ban on Plesk server?

    Answer

    Please refer to Plesk Documentation for more information :
    Fail2Ban Jails Management

    Via CLI:

    1. Connect to the server via SSH
    2. Open /etc/fail2ban/jail.local in any text editor and add the following content with corresponding values:

      [Jail name]
      enabled = {true/false}
      filter = {specify the filter}
      action = {specify the action}
      logpath = {specify the log path}
      bantime = {set IP address ban period}
      maxretry = {Set the maximum number of failed login attempts}

      For example, to create MJ12bot jail:

      [MJ12bot-jail]
      enabled = true
      filter = apache-badbots
      action = iptables-multiport[name=MJ12bot, port="http,https,7080,7081"]
      logpath = /var/www/vhosts/system/*/logs/*access*log
                /var/log/httpd/*access_log
      bantime = 600
      maxretry = 3
