Hello, There was a request to provide an additional non-standard port for SSH which would have relaxed Fail2Ban settings: https://tools.bitfolk.com/redmine/issues/75 This is now done, and the additional port is 922. You won't be blocked by Fail2Ban on that port no matter how many times you fail your password. I would also like to remind you that SSH key upload is also supported, which you may prefer to password auth: https://panel.bitfolk.com/account/security/ Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
