Fail2Ban & OpenVPN brute forcing

[Wessel]

I’ve added the Fail2Ban example here:

GitHub - fail2ban/fail2ban: Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple...

Changing the path from
logpath = /var/log/openvpn.log

into
logpath = /var/log/messages

As far as I can see the line
:\d+ TLS Error: TLS handshake failed$
Does match the FreePBX distro logging, but fail2ban does not block OpenVPN abusers yet…
Anybody has this working? Or any hints what I am overlooking?

Removing the ^ from the and leaving the $ does give matches using
fail2ban-regex /var/log/messages /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/openvpn.local

JWR
PS Please add this default to the Fail2Ban configuration in FreePBX

Created /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/openvpn.local containing:

# Fail2Ban filter for selected OpenVPN rejections
#
#

Hi.
With sysadmin, this feature already exists.

I’m seeing this attack on a few of my systems and fail2ban says it’s blocking the IP’s but the list in sysadmin > intrusion detection never seems to grow and every day I’m getting dozens of notifications from fail2ban.
