fail2ban
In an attempt to harden the security on my Pi, I have installed fail2ban. The instructions can be found here
Fail2ban allows a remote computer to be blocked from connecting if a threshold of failed login attempts is made.
I am currently investigating why I am getting an error with this
sudo systemctl status fail2ban.service
