Hi,
Ufw has the ability to deny connections from an IP address that has attempted to initiate 6 or more connections in the last 30 seconds.

Question:
This rate limiting option of ufw looks promising to me. Could I use this option for OpenVPN (TCP) to harden my server against brute force attacks? Personally, I don't think that this is necessary, but I just want to be on the safe side and limit unnecessary connections to my server.
Background:
Unfortunately, I am not able to ban the IP addresses of attackers with my current configuration. I use 6tunnel to forward all data over IPv6 from my vps (which has a public IPv4 address) to my actual server. For this reason, every connenction that reaches my server has the same IP address.
Thanks,
Mark
