Re: Unban IP permanently

Instead of just unblocking it, you may want to find the issue why it's banned.

Otherwise: Open '/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf' (path may vary in centOS) and find the line looking like 

ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8

in the [DEFAULT] section. Add a space after the last ip and add yours, e.g.

ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8 *the-ip-which-gets-banned-all-the-time*/32
