When an IP is banned by Fail2Ban and you want to un-ban that IP, the command you need to run is:

sudo fail2ban-client set <jailname> unbanip ipaddress

You can get the jailname by running:

sudo fail2ban-client status

If you want to find what IPs are banned by Fail2Ban, you can check the IPTABLES by running:

sudo iptables -L -n

An example output would be:

Chain f2b-sshd (1 references)
target     prot opt source               destination
REJECT     all  --  188.29.164.197       0.0.0.0/0            reject-with icmp-p  ort-unreachable(1 references

To unban IP 188.29.164.197 from the sshd jail, the command would be:

sudo fail2ban-client set sshd unbanip 188.29.164.197

You might want to add aliases to your shell’s resource file to make it easier to access commonly used programs such as mysql and mysqladmin from the command line. The syntax for bash is:

alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
alias mysqladmin=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
