Force Ban or Unban

You can manually ban ip addresses by placing a ban.txt file in the same folder as the IPBan service. The ip addresses are in plain text, one ip address per line. On the next cycle, IPBan will ban each ip address in the file, then delete the file. This is great for external applications such as traffic monitors, syn flood detectors, etc. that just want to cause an ip address ban.

You can manually unban ip addresses by placing a unban.txt file in the same folder as the IPBan service. The ip addresses are in plain text, one ip address per line. On the next cycle, IPBan will unban any ip address in the file and then delete the file. Each ip will be removed from the firewall and IPBan database.
