Re: how do I unban ip address from fail2ban?

Hi,
you need to:

1) issue command:

 iptables -L --line-numbers

2) find the relevant line and write down the number in "num" column and chain name,

3) delete the IP from firewall:

iptables -D fail2ban-dovecot 2

Meaning: delete second rule from chain fail2ban-dovecot

Another option is to just restart the fail2ban daemon - but it'll delete all blocked IPs.

Note:
- there is no clean way, how to remove IP from fail2ban in version 0.8.*
- the IP is not whitelisted = it'll be readded if the netiquette beach goes on

Re: how do I unban ip address from fail2ban?

It's analogous to my example:

iptable -D fail2ban-roundcube LINENUMBER

Simply search for the blocked IP in the list and scroll back and see in which chain is the IP listed. Then create the iptable -D following the example above.
