+### Banning bad actors (fail2ban)
+If you put stuff on the Internet, bad actors will try to break them or break in. [fail2ban](https://www.fail2ban.org/)
+and nginx's [ngx_http_limit_req_module module](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_req_module.html) can be used
+to ban client IPs if they misbehave. This is on top of the [rate limiting](#rate-limiting) inside the ntfy server.
+
+Here's an example for how ntfy.sh is configured, following the instructions from two tutorials ([here](https://easyengine.io/tutorials/nginx/fail2ban/) 
+and [here](https://easyengine.io/tutorials/nginx/block-wp-login-php-bruteforce-attack/)):

 ## Config options
 Each config option can be set in the config file `/etc/ntfy/server.yml` (e.g. `listen-http: :80`) or as a
 CLI option (e.g. `--listen-http :80`. Here's a list of all available options. Alternatively, you can set an environment
