As a less experienced user this feature makes all the difference. Thank you Jeff!
You are very welcome 🙂
Can I run same script again and again to upgrade to newer version?
Yes. On Windows I have it preserving the ipban.sqlite and ipban.config files. I still need to update the Linux script to do this. I will do that now.
Ok it’s updated now for Linux too 🙂
I didn’t know you had Linux version. How IPBan compares / differs to default fail2ban?
It should be able to do everything fail2ban can do, along with (in my opinion) being more performant and easier to configure.
