Protecting the web interface with fail2ban
apt-get install fail2ban
Create, if does not exist, the file jail.local (settings in this file takes precedence over identical settings of jail.conf. Use jail.conf as a template, copying and enabling into jail.local what you are interested in. Note that jail.conf could be overwritten by fail2ban package updates, jail.local will not)
The following configuration works, unchanged, for Proxmox 3.x and 4.x (last test with 4.3)
Add the following string to the end of this file /etc/fail2ban/jail.local :
[proxmox] enabled = true port = https,http,8006 filter = proxmox logpath = /var/log/daemon.log maxretry = 3 # 1 hour bantime = 3600
Create the file /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/proxmox.conf :
[Definition] failregex = pvedaemon\[.*authentication failure; rhost=<HOST> user=.* msg=.* ignoreregex =
You can test your configuration trying to GUI login with a wrong password or user, and then issue the command :
fail2ban-regex /var/log/daemon.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/proxmox.conf
You should have *at least* a "Failregex: 1 total" at the top of the "Results" section (and "1 matched" at the bottom)
Restart fail2ban:
systemctl restart fail2ban
