# Option: actionstart
# Notes.: command executed once at the start of Fail2Ban.
# Values: CMD
#
# Changing iptables rules requires root privileges. If fail2ban is
# configured to run as root, firewall setup can be performed by
# fail2ban automatically. However, if fail2ban is configured to run as
# a normal user, the configuration must be done by some other means
# (e.g. using static firewall configuration with the
# iptables-persistent package).
#
# Explanation of the rule below:
# Check if any packets coming from an IP on the fail2ban-<name>
# list have been seen in the last 3600 seconds. If yes, update the
# timestamp for this IP and drop the packet. If not, let the packet
# through.
#
# Fail2ban inserts blacklisted hosts into the fail2ban-<name> list
# and removes them from the list after some time, according to its
# own rules. The 3600 second timeout is independent and acts as a
# safeguard in case the fail2ban process dies unexpectedly. The
# shorter of the two timeouts actually matters.
