=== [[Fail2Ban]] ===
==== Install ====
<pre>
apt install fail2ban
</pre>
==== Configuration ====
Editing <code>/etc/fail2ban/jail.local</code>, using the defaults from [[Mastodon/Setup]]
<syntaxhighlight lang="toml">
[DEFAULT]
destemail = your@email.here
sendername = Fail2Ban
[sshd]
enabled = true
port = 22
[sshd-ddos]
enabled = true
port = 22
</syntaxhighlight>
Then restart the service
<pre>
systemctl restart fail2ban
</pre>
=== IPTables ===
Again following [[Mastodon/Setup]]
==== Install ====
<pre>
apt install -y iptables-persistent
</pre>
Decline the dialog asking if you want to preserve existing iptables configs (if you say yes then the commands below will fail for some reason)
==== Configuration ====
* '''IPv4:''' Edit <code>/etc/iptables/rules.v4</code>
<pre>
*filter
