you're running a server on the internet. that's part of the deal.
you will still get attacks if you are on another port.

you can have a word challenge and block them if they fail.
for example everyone that connects on my bbs is blacklisted. if they
solve the challenge that gets removed.  this gets the bots that login and do 
nothing or drop carrier.

private msg me if you want it.
you're wasting  your time with pfsense and fail2ban.  the whole internet 
wants in.  only do something if it affects your bbs functionality.
