Hello,
When a server using Fail2ban then is Port Knocking needed?
Thank you.

Re: Port knocking.
Two unrelated things.
Fail2ban blocks repeated bad login attempts from an I.P address by reading the logs, then 'refusing connections' from a repeat offender.
Port knocking, as I understand it, is a scheme to complicate access to a machine - long before any login attempt..

Is it just for SSH service? No FTP or MariaDB?lightman47 wrote: ↑2020/08/22 21:35:40Two unrelated things.

Re: Port knocking.
I guess you could implement port knocking for any TCP based socket.
A little pointless really IMO
