fail2ban - Not banning? (Cloudflare firewall works)

Hello there,

currently playing around with the fail2ban install (Provided here).

I tried with csf first and it seems that I am getting banned via fail2ban logs, but I still have access to /wp-login.php and could 'brute' force the login, while cloudflare gives me 'access denied' after 5 attempts.

I basically just installed it via the script and tried to 'brute force' the /wp-login.php via mobile.

Code:

csf -g IP 

says that I am banned aswell, but still.. access is granted.

CSF is supposed to ban me after 5 fails if I understand it correctly, or?

Behind Cloudflare, yeah.. makes sense now. Got it, thanks!

Guess I need to change to cloudflare for every jail aswell, right?

 

Awesome, thanks!

The more I dig into CMM the merrier I love it.

Everytime I setup a small debian server and apply a small 'post install script' I switch to CentOS with CMM because something is missing, too much hassle, etc. on a debian server. Thanks eva for all this!
