what are you using to cope with scanners and login floods? fail2ban, custom firewall rules, banner tricks?? share your setup

well, the web server part of Synchronet runs through Nginx Proxy Manager Plus and a haproxy.

I run rgtel as a front-end for telnet. I rate limit each IP to one SSH connection. I should probably limit TelnetS, and WSS as well now that I'm running them from the BBS server.
