Unblock an IP address in Fail2Ban

There are a few steps involved.

  1. Find the jail name involved
  2. Confirm the IP address is indeed blocked
  3. Unblock the IP using the jail name and IP address
fail2ban-client status 
nft list ruleset
fail2ban-client set <jail-name> unbanip <ip-address>
nft list ruleset

This will list the current firewall rules, and should display the IP address in a named set

fail2ban-client status

This will include output that lists the names of available jails. You need to identify the correct jail in order to unblock the IP

fail2ban-client set <jail-name> unbanip <ip-address>

If found, this will remove the block on the IP from the corresponding jail
