› VitalPBX Community Support › General Discussion › GUI Fail2ban not working
Ver 2.0.0-5
The Intrusion detection for the GUI login does not block access to the GUI
The fail2ban.log shows the incorrect login and the action of being block, the system also sends an email that the ip has been blocked
However I can still login from the blocked IP
Firewall and Intrution Detection are both enabled
Am I missing something?
Thank you
How many tries do you have configured?, are you sure that you reach the maximum tries?
By default the intrusion detection comes with 5 tries allowed. I test by my self, and is working as expected
Check if the ip address that you are using is not in the whitelist
It looks like this is a problem of the vps I am using, I tested on a real server and it works
Is it possible to define the venet in fail2ban on a vps so fail2ban can utilize it
It looks like an issue, it happens when the email notifications are enabled, may you try with the email notifications disable in your VPS?
I have removed the email entry in this field “And Send a Notification Email To”
Not sure if that is what you meant
Also I am finding that I have to refresh the page to see the Ban List, the banned addresses show up there after a page refresh but are not blocked
Try to update the VitalPBX Fail2ban config:
yum update vitalpbx-fail2ban-config
Let me know if that fix your issue
It returns
“No packages marked for update”
Yep, you must to clean cache first
yum clean allrm -rf /var/cache/yumyum update vitalpbx-fail2ban-config
OK now updated to ver 1.0.0-3 shows the banned ip address but still lets me in
I disabled and enabled the service and tried logging in with a bad password 10 times (set for 5 max) still lets me access the login page and log in
That only happens in your VPS? What kind of VPS do you have?
woothosting cloud vps is the service
is it a dedicated VPS? do you have full access to it?
It may be shared with my other vps on the same service
Yes I have full access ssh etc…
But each has a static public ip address
Try the following:
yum install -y fail2ban-systemd fail2ban-firewalld python-inotifysystemctl restart fail2ban
Then post the result of the following command:
fail2ban-client get vitalpbx-gui logpath
