Remarkable change in fail2ban logs

From March 14th I don’t receive attempts to abuse openvpn anymore. Before that date I received up to 300 attempts per day on openvpn.
Now I see a mix of apache-noscript, postfix and dovecot…
You guys see something similar? (would the good news be that some exploit has been eliminated?)

My last post in the thread I started, when I fist saw this points out that mine suddenly stopped when my IP changed.

Since then I haven’t seen any more “brute” attempts.

Cheers.

My VPS is on a fixed IP address. I just noticed different behavior of incoming attempts to abuse active services…

Does the jail is enabled?

yup:

No it is possible that the jail is not enabled, check the status page of fail2ban

There still are attempts, but not the vast amounts as before march 14th…

But now I see the statistics, could there be another reason? the total amount of bans has hit 9999 Is that a hard limit?
