Glad to offer the assistance. Scripts like fail2ban are "ok" but one really
should learn the apps that scripts such as those control. If you wish to
block an IP from accessing anything on your box, drop from the "-p .. to 24554"
of the above line. If you just wish to append the filter you can use -A 
instead of -I too. If your bink is running on a different port than change
the --dport to what your bink is.
