How to ban a ip with fail2ban using fail2ban-client and actionban

  • 772

I am on fail2ban 0.8.3 and I would like to ban an ip address after reloading fail2ban.

I tried:

fail2ban-client get myjail actionban ip

after that I get an empty line in bash and fail2ban status myjail shows not banned ips

How do I properly put an ip into a jail via fail2ban-client?

iptables

  1. If you have an existing jail myjail then 

    fail2ban-client set myjail banip <IP>

    should do what you want.
