WP fail2ban iptables REJECT rule not working?

    Hello,

    WP fail2ban seems to be working – in so much that it is successfully adding an iptables REJECT rule for the offending IP (in the fail2ban-WordPress chain), but it doesn’t actually block the IP address. I can manually block my IP address with a DROP iptables rule, so I know iptables is generally working. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    meeble

    When I use this, it works, but only on port 80:

    action = iptables[name=wordpress, port=80, protocol=tcp]

    but when I try to specify 2 ports, it only blocks on port 80:

    action = iptables[name=wordpress-xmlrpc, port=80,443, protocol=tcp]

    hmmm…

    ok, I found this somewhere, and it now works!

    action = iptables-multiport[name=wordpress, port=”http,https”]
