Comments/details added to the list are vital to knowing what to do about the different IP's in the list. It is a sub par solution without it.

Four years and still only ~30 participants. Too bad, I would like to have the feature to see and check where the last entries came from.

I would add sorting by time of blocking, because right now it is sorting only by IP. sometimes for debugging purposes last blocked IP is needed

And maybe the abuse contact for the IP owner (via RIPE Database Query) and an extract of the log. Just things ready to send abuse reports.

ah, yes, another one: a button for white-listing current client IP address (maybe permanently, maybe timed, for a day or whatever...)

Other possible (related) improvements:

- sort by date (not by IP address which is almost useless...)
- query whois (maybe by clicking on IP address itself, or with a dedicated button/field in each row)

Would also be nice to be able to add a comment to any whitelisted ip addresses so you know when where and why an IP was whitelisted...

I would like to see the owner of IPs that are blocked. Especially on the recidive jail.

Add Date and Time in Fail2ban blocked IP Adress List

I was just looking at the banned ip addresses on my server and thought it would be nice to have a time and date stamp listed next to the banned ip and jail used.

And maybe add log sizes for the Fail2Ban logs.

Kind regards

Lloyd
