    Add more nodes?

    I have a firewall script that will block an IP if it connects more than 4 times in a few minutes.

    I'm not sure what OS you're running on, but it's pretty easy to do with Linux.

    Because networking via telnet is simple, elementry stuff any any user should have a firm grasp on. Maybe for the people the grew up with it. I just figured out what this stuff was yesterday.

    Yeah, I use CSF (as I've been using it for 10+ years at this point) but I do use F2B elsewhere. F2B has really matured over the years and preventing bots from connecting is fairly simple, with it.

    I've never set anything like that up on Windows, I have a separate firewall/router (PFSense) on my home network to block anything stupid that tries to come in, but a brief google search seems to indicate there's at least a couple free, open-source tools that likely would be useful.

    IPBan is the first one that popped up for me, as did "wail2ban", but the latter seems to not be developed/supported any longer.

    I love CSF - used it for years when I was managing a bunch of cpanel/whm servers and I use it on all of my linux machines. So easy to use.
