Fail2ban Callback URL

This URL is used by all Fail2Ban instances to send ban alerts back to Fail2Ban UI. For local deployments, use the same port as Fail2Ban UI (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:8080). For reverse proxy setups, use your TLS-encrypted endpoint (e.g., https://fail2ban.example.com).

Global Default Fail2Ban Configurations

These settings will be applied to all enabled Fail2Ban servers and stored in their jail.local [DEFAULT] section.

Enable Bantime Increment

If set to true, the bantime will be calculated using the formula: bantime = findtime * (number of failures / maxretry) * (1 + bantime.rndtime).

Enable Jails by Default

If enabled, all jails will be enabled by default. When disabled, jails must be explicitly enabled.

Default Bantime

The number of seconds that a host is banned. Time format: 1h = 1 hour, 1d = 1 day, 1w = 1 week, 1m = 1 month, 1y = 1 year.

Banaction

Default banning action (e.g. iptables-multiport, iptables-allports, firewallcmd-multiport, etc). It is used to define action_* variables.

Banaction Allports

Banning action for all ports (e.g. iptables-allports, firewallcmd-allports, etc). Used when a jail needs to ban all ports instead of specific ones.

Default Findtime

A host is banned if it has generated 'maxretry' failures during the last 'findtime' seconds. Time format: 1h = 1 hour, 1d = 1 day, 1w = 1 week, 1m = 1 month, 1y = 1 year.

Default Max Retry

Number of failures before a host gets banned.

Ignore IPs

Space separated list of IP addresses, CIDR masks or DNS hosts. Fail2ban will not ban a host which matches an address in this list.
