Recently in an Ubuntu 20.04 box from
fail2ban
I got the following error:
2023-07-13 06:57:05,129 fail2ban.actions : NOTICE [nginx-http-auth] Ban 2600:1005:b02d:3b6a:c1e:4a7e:6a9f:ccc4

actionstart from **/etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables-ipset-proto6-allports.local**

My understanding about the issue is that fail2ban
is failing to execute ipset
/ ip6tables
(deadlock?)
Is there is a way to relax fail2ban
settings so it retries multiple times or allows a longer timeout before exiting.
