When your security on your server is so good that you can't access it yourself

Haha, I had that too. What happened?

@Jifuna
Fail2ban blocked me because I set up a check on port 22... To many checks triggered fail2ban and blocked the IP :p

I have just to wait one week until the ban is gone, or take me laptop to work and access it from there :p

Haha, lol had exactly the same thing.
I know a way to fix it:
Install juicessh on phone
Login to server on mobile internet
Check iptables and delete rule
Type iptables --flush if you have nothing else in the table to set back default
I hope it works

@Jifuna this is the proper way to do it.

fail2ban-client set YOURJAILNAMEHERE unbanip IPADDRESSHERE

But if you have a static ip address you can whitelist it

@Jifuna
I only have key login atm x)

@jckimble yeah, I love fail2ban thou

@Linux Had exactly the same!

@Linux and that key is tied to your ip or something? If not just copy your key to juicessh and login. I use SSHkeys with juicessh on my servers and works servers lol

Go to privateinternetaccess

Buy a VPN for a month

Get the job done

Ask for a refund.

@ScribeOfGoD
It is :)

@Linux tbh, I dont see the benefit in that. If you only use that device to connect or use a VPN to be able to use the hat ip then your pretty much stuck, like you are now lol

@ScribeOfGoD
I do, I have quite alot of sensetive private data on that one from my whole life

@Linux on the server or the pc you use to access it?

@ScribeOfGoD
Both, I have a few with the same setup.

This reminded me this : i have set such a strong password, even i don't remember that now.
