After a preset time, it will trigger an <code>unban</code> action. Without much effort, we can have WordPress log all authentication events and have fail2ban react on them. https://bjornjohansen.com/fail2ban-rackspace-loadbalancer/ Fri, 07 Nov 2014 19:31:31 +0000 urn:uuid:34343362-6565-5331-b461-373762623161 If your fail2ban is on a host behind a Rackspace Cloud LoadBalancer, you’ll want to block the offending IP addresses directly in your LoadBalancer. If your LB is acting as a reverse proxy, you’ll HAVE to block in the LB, but it is also nice to protect all other nodes behind the LB and offload the lifting.
