Hello guys
I'm using fail2ban in Plesk working pretty smoothly. I extended BAN period to months (instead of just some minutes), and the list of banned hosts grows as expected. At this time the list of banned hosts is about 8K, not a problem at all, for now.
My question is if an excessive number of banned hosts might lead to other problem, like memory flooding, or iptables/kernel crash?
I see it's all about iptables rules but don't know if all these rules are stored in memory or a file, for realtime lookup.
As i said, i have no problems at this time, just thinking ahead.
Regards
