Fail2Ban will now monitor SSH intrusion attempts and will also +search the logs for any systems that try to connect to blocked ports looking for +an entry vector into your system. It will then block those systems +automatically for whatever timeframe you specify and then remove that block. So +you don't have to maintain IP block/allow lists manually anymore! + +I hope this helps you in dealing with your server getting bombarded by +irritating scanning-bots.
