BTW I don’t have root login enabled and I have two factor authentication on my SSH port (not standard), which is enabled only for a single low privileges user, so there’s no problem. I work for a provider and I manage IPS devices, so I know that it is common to have a large amount of intrusion attempts, I was just wondering if there was some attack against Tor nodes going on since the increase of intrusion attempts in the last few weeks :)

Also, you could consider pam-abl (auto blacklisting) instead of
fail2ban. Relying on PAM, it doesn't need to process the logs to ban
hosts or users.
