clear all blocklist with fail2ban

[doramir]

Is there a way to release all everyone in the blocklist?
this command Rack::Attack.clear! is not releasing the blocklist.
I want to release everyone from blocklist

Were you able to figure this one out?

Rack::Attack.clear! does not release the users in the blocklist.
Rather, it clears the the configuration for throttle, blacklist, safelist and track.

Although I am not very sure how to release everyone from the blocklist, it's maybe clearing from the cache?

I created a hack to solve it.
I used dynamic prefix for the key and when I wanted to clear I just change the prefix key

Similar issue also discussed here: #113

email = "[email protected]"
epoch_time = Time.now.to_i
Rack::Attack.cache.store.delete "#{Rack::Attack.cache.prefix}:#{epoch_time / 30.minutes}:logins/email:#{email}"

We don't want specific, I want to clear all the blacklist

Rack::Attack.clear! method name was misleading and changed to Rack::Attack.clear_configuration in #344.

FWIW we're considering adding a Rack::Attack.reset! method to reset Rack::Attack's state in other issues (#389 (comment), #249 (comment)).

[jtoy]

adding it?

[grzuy]

Rack::Attack.reset! was released in v6.3.0. Be aware it resets all Rack::Attack state, no only fail2ban.

When you say Rack::Attack state, are you talking about the cache and/or the rules?
In case, Is there a way to reset the rules? I'm doing some debugging on a staging console and I'm still searching for a way of redefining rules :)
