Although I did read up on how to configure fail2ban, I did not change anything.
So probably it would kick me again latter.

But as the server is more than 10 years old, it will be in retirement before

Actually I am in the process of moving the services running on it to some other 
machines.

Thank you for the continuous, great support you provide for the community
Have a good time
