Sorry to bother you but I have a questions….

We are looking to use fwbuilder to set up some fwalls here. The os uses fail2ban to write intrusion rules to iptables

www.fail2ban.org/


The issue is that when I write my fwall script back to the server it undoes the iptables that fail2ban made.

suggest its possible to run them together. Step 1, as I am not interested in port-knocking. I tried to make them work by making the blank policy an branching, but honestly I don’t know what im doing. Do you have any pointers or doco?
