Great that worked, almost, the file that I needed to change was:
/etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables-multiport.conf
For the record the config that I changed was actionstart to:
actionstart = <iptables> -N f2b-<name>
<iptables> -A f2b-<name> -j <returntype>
# Remove as I do not want something at the start of the INPUT chain
# <iptables> -I <chain> -p <protocol> -m multiport --dports <port>
-j f2b-<name>
I also changed actionstop, removing the first line:
actionstop = <iptables> -D <chain> -p <protocol> -m multiport --dports <port>
-j f2b-<name>
Leaving:
actionstop = <actionflush>
<iptables> -X f2b-<name>
Thanks

My TODO file says that I must rewrite it using nft not iptables.
