Fail2ban perpetual don't respect unban policy

Hi guys,

Just find out this today.
Looks like Fail2ban don’t respect unban command or is doing that in wired way.
When I’m trying unban specific IP from the list is still there but NS deleting last entry on the list.
Restart service give me the same behavior.
I believe this is connected to perpetual jail in Fail2ban.
Anyone can confirm that pls.

Worked as expected. Using the UI, unbaned an IP from the middle of the list, and that one was removed (IP from recidive with perpetual setting.)

In what list did you find the ip to unban, please could you make a screenshot ?

How you can blacklist when you are in “approved list”???
I just to unband this addresses

Sorry i did not understand, could you reformulate please

Ok I give you full experience.
Binn some IP
Make it perpetual.
Try tu un bin it.
?

Thanks
Decided restart the box and here we are again.
How many banned IP do you have?
Maybe this bag is just when you have few thousand like I have? :roll_eyes:

When I try unban specific IP is still there but I’m loosing the last entry on the list.

Still lack my question about from which list you tried to unban the IP (Banned IP or Active Jails)

  • Banned IP is the display of shorewall show dynamic
  • Active Jails is a combined action of fail2ban-client status & shorewall show dynamic

Could you please show us the relevant log lines when you try to unban (messages and fail2ban log)

screen from active jails
13

it is not enough for debug purpose, fail2ban says it is not possible to unban this IP because the IP is not banned by the jail apache-auth. It is probably banned by another jail

@zimny this is what I am looking for unbanip · GitHub

Was banned by openvpn or apache jail.
I was even rebooting but there is no way to delete this entry.

prove me that please

use a gist provider like github :smiley:
