Hello QB,

I have an issue. If I block (Ban Permanently) some IP from the list of peers, it will not be allowed anymore. Please make an arrangement to add it back. Because if I Ban an IP for testing, and if I am unable to Unblock it, it gives a bit of bad feeling.

Thanks,
KIIRANN

Okay, .....

That is the meaning of 'Permanently', which is why it does not say "Ban Temporarily", so what were you expecting to happen?
Because a IP/Port pairing that you have banned permanently is not going to appear in the peer list at all for you to remove the permanent ban.

So I would say that your request is going to be a fairly low priority.

That is the meaning of 'Permanently', which is why it does not say "Ban Temporarily", so what were you expecting to happen? Because a IP/Port pairing that you have banned **permanently** is not going to appear in the peer list **at all** for you to remove the **permanent** ban. So I would say that your request is going to be a fairly low priority.

Just a use suggestion, could you perform this testing with a blocklist. Qbittorrent does support that. Or are you just trying to test that perma-ban works?

Just Tried to test it. Its better if it could have allowed "Un-ban"
depending on the user's need. (This is just a suggestion from a torrenting
Lover)

I have the same issue. Unable to unblock peers - is nonsense, IMO. Software should get possibility to revert blocks. Thank you for understanding.

For workaround:
Can I just delete "IPFilter\BannedIPs=" from config file ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf?

For OS X qbittorrent 3.3.6 you do a shell or applescript:

do shell script "defaults delete com.qbittorrent.qBittorrent Preferences.IPFilter.BannedIPs"
Quit the app, run the script.

As Applescript programm:

try
if application "qbittorrent" is running then tell application "qbittorrent" to quit
on error
display dialog "Quit qbittorrent first then run this script again"
return
end try
do shell script "defaults delete com.qbittorrent.qBittorrent Preferences.IPFilter.BannedIPs"
try
tell application "qbittorrent" to launch
end try

qbittorrentDeleteBannedIP's.app.zip

Clearly for the underdeveloped windofs it will be a pain in the ass to find a solution.

This request was opened 5 years ago, and it STILL has not been implemented? This seems like a no-brainer to me. Sometimes you accidentally ban a peer, and need to unban it. Sometimes you need to only temporarily ban a peer or group of peers. Adding the ability to unban peers should be very easy to do. Hell, even if it was just an option to unban ALL peers, that would be good enough.

I’m using the 4.2 alpha. I didn’t realize it was in the connections settings. Figured it would be in the peers or trackers sections. It would be nice if you could select more than one IP in that list at a time. I need to delete about 200 IPs, and I’m having to do them one at a time because you cannot shift-click to select multiple IPs in the list.

Open a new bug report. This seems pretty simple for someone with a little bit of time to implement. But they need to see it as new bug report.
