hello and thanks, i could not find my answer at the website.
i want to test fail2ban to protect my openvpn server on opnsense.
and i am concerned that i will make some major mistake and lock myself out.
so how can i configre fail2ban to log and not ban?
thanks so much,
david
Not quite the right answer but set findtime to 1s and maxretry to something
big. Then it should never ban.
I got mine from
https://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/HOWTO_fail2ban_with_OpenVPN but ahad to
adjust it slightly.

Here is a script that will make it easy to unban yourself when you do get
yourself banned:
echo "Enter IP # to unban"; read input; for jail in $(fail2ban-client status | grep 'Jail list:' | sed 's/.*Jail
list://' | sed 's/,//g'); do echo; echo "Jail: $jail"; fail2ban-client set $jail unbanip $input; done
Another thing that you can do, is to keep your ban time set to a few seconds, when testing, then if you get banned, it's
only for a few seconds.
You can also put a no ban restriction on your ip address.
