Hi,
Anyone knows how to setup fail2ban to avoid Mac address bruteforce?

thank you

That won’t help you. Most bruteforce use proxies. Also, that’s not an XtreamUI issue. You configure it the same way you would for anything else. Refer to the fail2ban manual.

Thank you for. I know that is not a xtream UI issue. But probably they try more than 1 login with 1 proxy or do you think they use 1 ip per each login try? If was possible to block the ip with 2 logins attempts (for example), maby it would reduce the success rate... What do you think?

i think it's useless against multi attack with multi ip. bruteforce scanners use thousands of ip's so if they want to scan your system, they will still scan away every single MAC in the potential range and walk away with their proxy ip's and probably even active MAC's. if you have to ask then you should hire a professional.
