There are a few steps involved.
- Find the jail name involved
- Confirm the IP address is indeed blocked
- 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
