How does Elive hide my public IP?

While installing Elive recently, one of the suggestion was if I wanted Elive to hide my public IP to avoid possible attacks. Im still thinking if i should have clicked "yes", and now Im wondering how does elive do this.

Thanks

moved from FAQ to the generic category

No Elive don't hide your IP, instead it can install a tool called fail2ban to avoid possible attacks like ssh to your IP, the exact sentence says:

Block IP's to prevent continuously attempted attacks

if you still want to install it later you can simply run this command:

api fail2ban

Excellent, thank you.
