+# WARNING: heavily refactored in 0.9.0 release.  Please review and
+#          customize settings for your setup.
+#
+# Changes:  in most of the cases you should not modify this
+#           file, but provide customizations in jail.local file,
+#           or separate .conf files under jail.d/ directory, e.g.:
+#
+# HOW TO ACTIVATE JAILS:
+#
+# YOU SHOULD NOT MODIFY THIS FILE.
+#
+# It will probably be overwritten or improved in a distribution update.
+#
+# Provide customizations in a jail.local file or a jail.d/customisation.local.
+# For example to change the default bantime for all jails and to enable the
+# ssh-iptables jail the following (uncommented) would appear in the .local file.
+# See man 5 jail.conf for details.
+#
+# [DEFAULT]
+# bantime = 1h
+#
+# [sshd]
+# enabled = true
+#
+# See jail.conf(5) man page for more information

+# MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS
+#
+
+# "bantime.increment" allows to use database for searching of previously banned ip's to increase a 
+# default ban time using special formula, default it is banTime * 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32...
+bantime.increment = true
+
+# "bantime.rndtime" is the max number of seconds using for mixing with random time 
+# to prevent "clever" botnets calculate exact time IP can be unbanned again:
+#bantime.rndtime = 
+
+# "bantime.maxtime" is the max number of seconds using the ban time can reach (doesn't grow further)
+#bantime.maxtime = 
+
+# "bantime.factor" is a coefficient to calculate exponent growing of the formula or common multiplier,
+# default value of factor is 1 and with default value of formula, the ban time 
+# grows by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ...
+#bantime.factor = 1
+
+# "bantime.formula" used by default to calculate next value of ban time, default value below,
+# the same ban time growing will be reached by multipliers 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32...
+#bantime.formula = ban.Time * (1<<(ban.Count if ban.Count<20 else 20)) * banFactor
+#
+# more aggressive example of formula has the same values only for factor "2.0 / 2.885385" :
+#bantime.formula = ban.Time * math.exp(float(ban.Count+1)*banFactor)/math.exp(1*banFactor)
+
+# "bantime.multipliers" used to calculate next value of ban time instead of formula, corresponding
+# previously ban count and given "bantime.factor" (for multipliers default is 1);
+# following example grows ban time by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ... and if last ban count greater as multipliers count, 
+# always used last multiplier (64 in example), for factor '1' and original ban time 600 - 10.6 hours
+#bantime.multipliers = 1 2 4 8 16 32 64
+# following example can be used for small initial ban time (bantime=60) - it grows more aggressive at begin,
+# for bantime=60 the multipliers are minutes and equal: 1 min, 5 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 5 hour, 12 hour, 1 day, 2 day
+#bantime.multipliers = 1 5 30 60 300 720 1440 2880

+# cross over all jails, if false (default), only current jail of the ban IP will be searched
+#bantime.overalljails = false

+# pyinotify: requires pyinotify (a file alteration monitor) to be installed.
+#              If pyinotify is not installed, Fail2ban will use auto.
+# gamin:     requires Gamin (a file alteration monitor) to be installed.
+#              If Gamin is not installed, Fail2ban will use auto.
+# polling:   uses a polling algorithm which does not require external libraries.
+# systemd:   uses systemd python library to access the systemd journal.
+#              Specifying "logpath" is not valid for this backend.
+#              See "journalmatch" in the jails associated filter config
+# auto:      will try to use the following backends, in order:
+#              pyinotify, gamin, polling.
+#
+# Note: if systemd backend is chosen as the default but you enable a jail
+#       for which logs are present only in its own log files, specify some other
+#       backend for that jail (e.g. polling) and provide empty value for

+# warn:  if a hostname is encountered, a DNS lookup will be performed,
+#        but it will be logged as a warning.
+# no:    if a hostname is encountered, will not be used for banning,
+#        but it will be logged as info.
+# raw:   use raw value (no hostname), allow use it for no-host filters/actions (example user)

+
+# "logencoding" specifies the encoding of the log files handled by the jail
+#   This is used to decode the lines from the log file.
+#   Typical examples:  "ascii", "utf-8"
+#
+#   auto:   will use the system locale setting

+# "enabled" enables the jails.
+#  By default all jails are disabled, and it should stay this way.
