I am trying to configure fail2ban to maintain its list of banned IP addresses after it has been restarted. I have tried this method, but its not working.
For some reason the “persistent.bans” file is not created, so the IPs are not banned again on restart. It’s like “iptables-multiport.conf” is ignored.
Has anyone been successful in configuring fail2ban to maintain its list of banned IP addresses after it has been restarted?
