sudo fail2ban-client set sshd unbanip 203.0.113.5

Manually unban an IP in the sshd jail

Removes an existing ban immediately, whether it was set manually or automatically — the fix when a legitimate user gets locked out by too many failed attempts. Use get sshd banned to confirm the address was banned before issuing this. The ban returns if the offending behavior continues.
