Re: FreePBX 14.0.16.11 Current Asterisk Version: 13.38.3
Current version: fail2ban v0.11.1, fail2ban-firewalld v0.11.1, fail2ban-sendmail v0.11.1, fail2ban-server v0.11.1
After updated my server for security threats, the Fail2ban service refused to start. The update has broken something, now I’m feeling really vulnerable. I don’t think the fail2ban server was updated specifically. Something else is preventing the service from starting. How do I fix this? Please advise,

Perhaps file a bug?
No, the fail2ban hs started:grinning:
