I use ipset instead of iptables: ipset -exist create fail2ban-IpPort hash:ip,port timeout 3600 ipset -exist create fail2ban-Ip hash:ip timeout 86400
and my action has a blank value for actionunban = You can pass any timeout value you want from the jail and just let the operating system keep track of the time. You can cycle or stop fail2ban and they are still banned. However to manually unban, use the ipset command to remove the entry.
