In @ansible/files/fail2ban_config/filter-postgresql.conf.j2:
- Line 3: The failregex currently '^.*no pg_hba\.conf entry for host
"<HOST>",.*$' in filter-postgresql.conf.j2 is too broad and will match any
pg_hba.conf mismatch; narrow it to target only unencrypted/SSL-related failures
by changing the pattern to require SSL-specific text (e.g., include "SSL off",
"connection requires SSL" or "SSL encryption" phrases) or replace the failregex
with an ignoreregex if you intend to skip these messages entirely; update the
pattern in the template so the failregex only triggers on messages containing
SSL-related keywords rather than all "no pg_hba.conf entry" errors.

We want to ban ip if unsupported connections attempts are repeatedly created (such as unencrypted, etc)
