What is Fail2Ban4Win?

Fail2Ban4Win

Fail2Ban4Win is a handy tool that helps you manage IP addresses quietly in the background. It’s especially useful when you want to block certain addresses, like those pesky scammers or unwanted emails. While blocking a single IP is pretty straightforward, things can get tricky when you need to ban a whole group, like an entire country. That’s where this tool shines!

How Does Fail2Ban4Win Work?

This isn’t your typical software with a flashy interface. Instead, Fail2Ban4Win runs as a Windows service behind the scenes. You won’t see any fancy menus; instead, all the settings are tucked away in a JSON file located in the installation folder.

Customizing Your Bans

You can use this JSON file to customize details about your bans. For example, you can specify what triggers a ban, how many failed attempts are allowed, and how long the block will last. The tool keeps an eye on various logs and takes action whenever it spots something that matches your rules.

Temporary Blocks and Auto-Extensions

When the ban duration ends, Fail2Ban4Win will automatically remove that rule from the firewall. But if the same criteria pop up again later on, it’ll jump back into action! Just keep in mind that if you restart the app, all existing rules will vanish and monitoring starts fresh.

Banning Problematic Subnets

The developer has mentioned that if certain subnets keep getting blocked over and over again, they’ll face an extended ban of one day each time they’re flagged. However, no ban will last longer than four days total for those troublesome subnets.

Who Should Use It?

Fail2Ban4Win is tailored for advanced users who have specific reasons to block ranges of IP addresses—whether it’s for security purposes or testing out some network configurations.
