DigitalOcean Blocking my IP

try

Code:

csf -dr ip
csf -tr ip

from csf help command

Code:

 csf -h

Code:

       -dr, --denyrm ip
              Unblock an IP and remove from /etc/csf/csf.deny

       -tr, --temprm ip
              Remove an IP from the temporary IP ban or allow list

 

yes editing files requires restart of csf

which file was it in ? csf.deny ?

 

strange that csf -dr ip didn't remove it then
make sure csf has been updated, usually it auto updates itself

Code:

csf -u

 

@BoostN did you end up figuring out how your ip got blocked ? was it failed sshd lfd daemon blocked ?

I'm thinking of adding to Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 automatically grabbing the end user's ssh client ip address from their logged in session and entering it into /etc/csf/csf.ignore as a safeguard

something like below command will get the end users ip from their SSH session but IIRC some folks have VPN or other setups where their ip from that ends up as 127.0.0.1 or something

Code:

echo $SSH_CLIENT | awk '{print $1}'

and doesn't help if end users ip is dynamically assigned

 

thanks for the following up info
