Summary0015701: Tidy up if fail2ban is stopped
DescriptionIf fail2ban is stopped, it should tidy up any existing rules or at least remove the firewall hook. As it stands, the rules will stay in place until the firewall is restarted.

Note: fail2ban takes a looong time to regenerate rules, so it would be good to differentiate between a "stop" and a "restart" (which is often coded as a "stop / start").

This is a WFM on 7.3 with f2b 0.9.5-3. See the file firewall.txt with f2b running and firewall1.txt after stopping it.

The only "f2b native" way round this is to go towards ipset rules and use the ipset timeout feature. This improves the start up times and allows you to just destroy the set on stopping rather than delete the rules one by one.

Ipset lists are now used and work in the backgrouns in an unobtrusive way
