Diagnostics & troubleshooting
IP ban (Fail2ban) or login lockout
Cannot access panel (:10001) or SSH after many failed attempts — rate limit, Fail2ban and unban.
-
Distinguish rate limit and Fail2ban
Rate limit (Settings → Security) blocks only the login form for a few minutes — the page still loads with «Too many login attempts». Fail2ban ban on port 10001 blocks all TCP access to the panel from that IP (timeout/refused) — lasts hours per uadmin-panel-login jail bantime.
-
Unban via panel
If you can access the panel from another IP: Security → Banned IPs → Unban. For SSH: same module, sshd jail.
-
Unban via SSH (root)
When the panel is unreachable from your IP, connect from hypervisor console, another network or VPN:
sudo fail2ban-client status sudo fail2ban-client status uadmin-panel-login sudo fail2ban-client status sshd # Unban jedne IP: sudo fail2ban-client set uadmin-panel-login unbanip YOUR.IP.HERE sudo fail2ban-client set sshd unbanip YOUR.IP.HERE # Privremeno isključi jail: sudo fail2ban-client stop uadmin-panel-login
-
Prevention
Add trusted IP in Security → Settings → ignoreip before testing brute-force protection. For production use VPN or fixed IP for admin access. Details in «Security module (Fail2ban)» guide.
