I use an ipset so I'm not authoritative on this, but I think the chains are only created when you get an actual ban. yes and this is a change in 0.10 from previous versions of f2b, hence the OP's confusion. Ah. Thank you! That would explain it. Although, that doesn’t seem like a change for the better. I used to do a quick check after restarting fail2ban to verify the chains were in iptables. That gave me at least a first level of confidence that fail2ban was able to manipulate the iptables rules properly. That’s gone now. So, I guess to do that type of basic check, I would first have to create a ban situation, which is tedious. What’s the logic behind this “improvement”? Thanks. Michael
