how to prevent brut force attack on couchdb?

I have a couchdb server open to all IP sources. Each client make a request this way :

http://username:password@couchdb/database

How can I prevent a brut force attack ? Is there a way to ban a source if there is an auth problem after X trials ?

Maybe with a service like fail2ban ? – Politick 20/9, 2016 at 14:55

fail2ban is only for ssh? – Mylander 17/10, 2020 at 20:29
