Fortigate VPN ban IPs

Hello,

Is there a   fail2ban-like  feature in Fortigate?   I'm running VPN server on my 60f and I want   it to block all  IPs with more than 3 failed login attempts

 

Thank you

You can have your VPN terminated on a loopback and set up an IPS profile on the resulting FW policy that would be required.

Hi,

you don't really need fail2ban as there is a built-in feature for this in Fortigate:

 

CLI:

 

config vpn ssl settings

set login-attempt-limit [0-10] Default is 2.

set login-block-time [0-86400] Default is 60 seconds.

end

 

You can ban the failed logins IP for a duration of up to 24 hours.
