Question Fail2Ban settings missing in Obsidian 18.0.48 for Windows

[Johan Donne]

Server operating system version

Windows Server 2016

Plesk version and microupdate number

Obsidian Web Pro 18.0.48

In 'Tools & Settings', the link for Fail2Ban settings seems to have disappeared.
Does anyone know why (or how to reach those settings)?

If you go to Tools & Settings -> Updates -> Add/Remove components

Is Fail2Ban installed?

 

[Johan Donne]

Fail2Ban is no longer in the list of components...
Tough it seems to be active: all connections coming from our reverse proxy are refused (In a previous version I whitelisted that IP-address).
Connections from other machines are working.

If I am not mistaken fail2ban has never been available for Windows. As fail2ban itself is not compatible with Windows.

EDIT: fail2ban also isn't listed a available component for Windows on Plesk: Software Requirements for Plesk Obsidian

I would say remove it and reinstall it but i am only experienced with Linux and not windows server (i only just noticed that you are on windows)

Edit: it seems that fail2ban is not available on windows. Thanks Kaspar!

Ok, then I must be mistaken (I remember whitelisting our reverse proxy in Fail2Ban, but that must have been on a Linux-machine).
Still very strange: that plesk server resets all requests coming from the reverse proxy and accepts them from all other machines.
None of the existing firewall rules could explain that behavior...
