[SSHGuard-users] Do whitelist entries work inside the sshguard.conf file?

[Darshil S. <Dar...@st...>]

Hello all,


I've installed sshguard on a home server and was wondering if I had set up whitelisting properly.


What I have done is create a sshguard.conf file inside /etc and have added a line and then restarted the sshguard service:


# local ip whitelist

-w local.ipaddress


because I don't want to lock myself out when accessing from the local network.


Will this whitelist work? Or is a separate whitelist file required?


Thanks everyone.
