Launched at the end of 2023, our HTTP dataset is designed to help webRTC, phone provisioning, and other HTTP provided services in use by many RTC servers. To use the HTTP dataset, you will need to use v2 of the API (where you can choose the SIP, HTTP, or both datasets). For more information, please see our announcement or on our documentation page.
Back in January, we kicked the year off by updating the APIBAN client to use v2 of the API as well as choose your dataset (SIP, HTTP, or both). We also made a dedicated APIBAN github organization.
Launched in April, we have a new go(lang) based APIBAN client that will send IP addresses directly to your chosen fail2ban jail.
The new client comes to us from concerns of FreePBX users of fail2ban fighting iptables additions. There’s other benefits for freepbx users, including seeing IP addresses in the GUI, etc.
There’s also a super simple, lazy install method.
We're grateful to the continued support of our sponsors and Ivan Nyarko (did you check out Ivan's open relay tester?). With this continued support we are looking forward to testing with nftables and adding additional features in 2025!
APIBAN is a free service thanks to our sponsors. We would also like to give thanks to Ivan Nyarko and our github sponsors.
