How to Check the Status of an IP in cPFence?

cPFence allows you to quickly check the current state of an IP address to see if it has been whitelisted, blacklisted, and how many times it has been blocked. This feature provides a detailed breakdown, making it easy to track potential issues with any IP address on your server.

Checking the IP Status

To check the status of an IP, simply use the cpfence --check-ip option with the desired IP address. For example:

This command will provide detailed information on whether the IP is whitelisted, blacklisted, and how many times it has been blocked. Below is an example output:

root@server22:~# cpfence --check-ip 87.251.75.136
Checking the current state of IP: 87.251.75.136
