Install fail2ban in order to ban and send emails
here is how you can install this software :
- Open up a terminal (CtrlAltT)
- type :
sudo apt install fail2ban sendmail(being on an updated system is of importance)
then allow SSH access through UFW and then enable the firewall:
ufw allow ssh
ufw enable
the default configuration should be adequate all that is left to do is configure your mail
