[opensuse] fail2ban - a cautionary note

After 3 years of having a server in the cloud with fail2ban on it, it locked me out from my house ISP recently! I had my house's IP in the ignoreip line, but ... Apparently my ISP changed my IP and I had made a typo or two in my password since the IP change. Fortunately my cloud vendor provides console access via a java app so I could log into the console and add me new home IP to the ignore IP line. Just a cautionary note for others, but it was pretty confusing since I could login for a few minutes after reboot, but then re-connecting would be blocked.
