My home server got hit with a brute force attack last month. I tried a weird trick with fail2ban and it actually worked.

Wait, a weird trick actually worked? What did you even do?

lol "weird trick" is putting it lightly, the_sam. i basically just messed with the router's admin settings using the default password from the sticker, which no one ever tries. everyone goes for the app or calls support, but the old backdoor login still works. it's like the digital version of checking if a door is unlocked before you call a locksmith. got my wifi speed back to normal in two minutes after weeks of issues.
