Fail2ban dont work properly

Linux on Servers

I try to get the installed fail2ban to ignore the ip I have from home office. I have read all tutorials and forum posts I can find without luck.

What I want to do is to add a ignoreip but I have done as all states but fail2ban still ban the ip address

Can I somehow check what ip is ignored/whitelisted

Par of fail2ban.local looks like this

[Definition]

[DEFAULT]

ignoreip = 1.2.3.4

What am I missing? manual say that ignoreself is default true

“ignoreself” specifies whether the local resp. own IP addresses should be ignored

(default is true). Fail2ban will not ban a host which matches such addresses.

Have you tried the subnet, instead of the IP, for testing? Have you also tried the public IP? Add ignoreself = true just to be sure as well.

Thanks for that
ignoreself should be default but as soon as I added it, everything works
