1. find out your public ip by going to www.whatismyip.com from your local pc browser
2. you can add your public IP to / etc/ fail2ban/ jail.conf file, next to ignoreip

vi / etc/ fail2ban/ jail.conf

3. Put in your public IP next to ignoreip and make sure to comment out the mark/# (delete # sign)
Hint: Type i to start modify the file in vi. You can put in as many public IPs as you want, separate by space.
