If BFM is blocking your IP, your IP will be listed in the file /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_blacklist. This is controlled by the "brute force login detection" in Admin Settings. If you get the message:
Your IP is blacklisted
1
this means that you've had too many failed login attempts or accesses to port 2222 without being logged in.
You can find your current IP like so:
curl myip.directadmin.com
1
To remove yourself from the blacklist, log into your server as root via SSH and remove your IP from the file:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_blacklist
If you wish to ensure you never get blacklisted, you can create the file below and add your IP to it:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_whitelist
