I'd suggest that you remove fail2ban completely. Remove the packages, and then delete /etc/fail2ban, and start again. When you're done, look at the output of "iptables -n -L INPUT_direct": # iptables -n -L INPUT_direct Chain INPUT_direct (1 references) target prot opt source destination REJECT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 match-set fail2ban-sshd src reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
