The issue with fail2ban is that it's an extremely heavy python application. It takes up a boatload of resources!
SSHGuard however is much lighter and even less to configure manually.
- thesuperbigfrog 4y agoI am not trying to compare fail2ban and SSHGuard. I used fail2ban in the past and it was helpful. If I was currently running an Internet-facing SSH daemon, I would give SSHGuard a try.
