Sshguard replaces fail2ban?

Question

SSH

Decided to install a fail2ban. But first I tried to display auth.log and try to log in with the left users. And I noticed that I worked sshguardand blocked my IP. In general, without any of my actions for installation and configuration. The question arose - do I need fail2ban then? And where did it come from sshguard- is it a standard set of ssh tools, or did my VPS provider install it? Ubuntu 16.04

Answer 1

fail2ban can work with more than just SSH
