Hello Everyone,
For some reason i get randomly blocked from my Webmin? Everytime i try to login today it tells me i am blocked but i have not logged into at all? I now cannot access my Webmin at all as it keeps telling me that i am blocked. Any help would be appreciated using the latest version of Virtualmin and using Ubuntu 18.04.
Thanks
Rockyuk
Hi,
Have a look at /etc/webmin/miniserv.users file and make sure that the user you’re trying to login with doesn’t have ! in the string. If it does, remove it.
Restart Webmin in anyway, and it will let you login as expected.
/etc/webmin/restart
Also, if something or someone on your IP is triggering fail2ban for other services (e.g., mail) your IP will be blocked. I have users run into this all the time because their IT admin doesn’t realise they have a mis-configured machine on their network.

@Rockyuk are you log in as root? I never seen blocked msg on my virtualmin but perhaps you log in as normal user… try to log in as root with root password…
