I hadn’t time to check the new version, but fail2ban is working good on www.nethserver.org almost since a month.
The only annoying things, are the bunch of mails sent when the service is restarted

Works for me! 
All those emails goes to admin@emailhosting.abt.ro, or will go to f2b@…

For those who may decide (from someone who is interested):
When can we install Fail2Ban from NS Software center without EPEL?

For the bit of testing that I have done, it is working fine - I have unexpectedly had some other more urgent work-related tasks which need to be completed first before I can complete the testing

Things will come when it will be ready.
I can understand what is you interest, but i’m not sure that it is the same for me.
Hi Stephane,
Thank you for your clarifications.
Unfortunately for me, and maybe not only for me, is not the answer that I have expected.
BR,

In fact the question is still how to have a sustainable way of development…and I have ever never found the answer.
all following answers have been already tested, but these not satisfy me.
- collaborate with nethforge, I did it plenty of time in smecontribs.
- open a free personal repository, I have one for SME Server.
The only way never tested is to open a repository with subscriptions but not sure that the people wants it.

I really understand your point of view.
I (we, everybody) want free software.
But somebody works hard to do that software. And of course, must be rewarded!
How? Sometimes the applause and nice words are not enough.

What if fail2ban would have been developed through a bounty (it’s a feature that a lot of people requested)?
I imagine that @stephdl would have spent time on code after the bounty guaranteed enough reward.
I’d say: let’s try to do things as if there’s been a bounty.
Let’s file a bounty and see how much we can raise and how much @stephdl would like to raise.
I’ll put my money on it for sure.
This is the first real trial for bountysource, what do you think?

Indeed, we have already a bounty active thanks to @Hunv
@stephdl would you mind creating a new issue?

Hi, @stephdl !
Great job by the way! Fail2ban was the first extension I added on my fresh installed Nethserver. And few seconds later I had first banned IPs 
I just added the e-mail notifications and find out, that Whois info is not included. So I do some search and find the info, to install jwhois
yum --enablerepo=epel install jwhois
May be it make sense to add it in package by default?

maybe we can simply add a note in the howto on jwhois for those who want to install it, it doesn’t add a lot of values.
