fail2ban - how to unblock IP address

By Tech Writer 1 min read

   
To see what IPs are blocked type the following:

iptables –L –n 

This will output the iptables list and at the bottom you will see the Chain fail2ban-SSH

Chain fail2ban-SSH (1 references)
target prot opt source destination
RETURN all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0

To remove the customer’s IP from the block list type the following:

iptables -D fail2ban-SSH -s IP -j DROP

Switch the IP with the customer’s public IP address.   Credits: https://help.webcontrolcenter.com/kb/a1023/unblock-ip-from-fail2ban.aspx
