Input fail2ban trusted IP Addresses

[jmin]

Hi! Feature request.

It would be great to have an option for add a comment when adding an IP address to the Trusted list, this would help to identify the addresses when time passes.

Kind regards.

I've added my vote.

As a workaround.. you can add your comment or (Tags in this case) after the ip address by adding a comma "," example:

123.456.789.10,MyOffice
321.654.987.01,myhome

You can mix with numbers:

123.456.789.10,My1stOffice
321.654.987.01,2ndhome

Use of multiple tags:

123.456.789.10,MyOffice,MyLibrary
321.654.987.01,myhome,mylibrary

Hyphens - :

123.456.789.10,My-Office,My_Library
321.654.987.01,my-home,my-office

IPv6

2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a4e:0340:7444,MyOffice,MyLibrary
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334,myhome,myoffice

Restriction:
* Whit spaces are not permitted.
* Special characters <*/+.&^#@=$~!>? are not permitted.

You can add as many tags for each IP you add as you like. Fail2ban natively will ignore text after a comma,

Warning: Failing to implements this method correctly could lock you out for 600s or per fail2ban default settings, if you do.. add your IP manually to:
/etc/fail2ban/jail.local

ignoreip = <Add_Your_IP_Address> 127.0.0.1/8 ::1

Or excute this command

sed -i 's/ignoreip = /ignoreip = 1.1.1.1 /g' /etc/fail2ban/jail.local && service fail2ban restart

replace 1.1.1.1 with your current IP and keep spaces.
