How To Install Fail2Ban on CentOS 7 / Debian 11

 What is Fail2Ban?

Fail2Ban is a log-parsing application that protects Linux virtual server host against many security threats, such as dictionary, DoS, DDoS, and brute-force attacks. It works by monitoring system logs for any malicious activity and scanning files for any entries matching identified patterns.

Alma 9 Vicidial Selfsign Webrtc

I am going to provide step by step guide to integrate, enable and configure the viciphone(a webrtc phone) in vicidial (also applicable to any vicidial based system) using the Self Signed SSL Certificate ,ie without a public-ip and FQDN or accessing the vicidial with internal LAN IP. 1️⃣ Install OpenSSL (if not installed) sudo dnf install -y openssl 2️⃣ Generate a Private Key openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out selfsigned.key -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 3️⃣ Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) openssl req -new -key selfsigned.key -out selfsigned.csr It will prompt you for details like: Country Name (e.g., IN ) State or Province (e.g., Gujarat ) Locality (City) Organization Name Common Name (Domain, e.g., example.com or your server IP) Email Address You can use localhost or an IP address if needed. 4️⃣ Generate a Self-Signed Certificate openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in selfsigned.csr -signkey selfsigned.key -out selfsigned.crt -days 365 → Valid for 1 year (Adjust as needed) ...

Install OpenVPN on AlmaLinux 9.5

 To install OpenVPN on AlmaLinux 9.5, you can follow these steps: 1. Update the System : Before installing any software, it's a good idea to update your system: sudo dnf update -y 2. Install EPEL Repository : OpenVPN is available in the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository. First, install the EPEL repository: sudo dnf install epel-release -y 3. Install OpenVPN : After enabling the EPEL repository, install OpenVPN: sudo dnf install openvpn -y 4. Install NetworkManager (Optional) : If you are using NetworkManager for managing network connections, you can install the OpenVPN plugin for NetworkManager: sudo dnf install NetworkManager-openvpn -y 5. Configure OpenVPN : Once installed, you need to configure OpenVPN by copying your .ovpn configuration file to the /etc/openvpn/ directory: sudo cp /path/to/your/config.ovpn /etc/openvpn/ 6. Start OpenVPN : You can start OpenVPN by specifying the configuration file directly: sudo openvpn --config /etc...
