Comments on How to whitelist an IP in Fail2ban on Debian Linux

How to whitelist an IP in Fail2ban on Debian Linux. Fail2Ban is used to protect servers against brute force attacks. Fail2ban uses iptables to block attackers, so, if we want to add permanent IP address and never be blocked, we must add it in the config file.

Hi,

it does not work for me. Is there a way I can see the current active configuration?

The ignoreip setting works fine for me in Debian 9. Maybe you added the IP in the wrong section, it needs to be added in the [DEFAULT] section of the file. Ensure that you removed the # in front of the existing ignoreip line in case that you reuse it. Or maybe your jail.conf is overridden by a jail.conf.local file where ignoreip is set to a different value.

I believe this should be updated to reference jail.local.
