Fail2Ban just blocked my IP for 3 SSH attempts. It added the iptables rule and I can see it using the "sudo iptables -L -n" command. But I can still access the site and login through SSH! What might be the problem? Is it because im using CloudFlare? I have set Nginx to write the real IPs to the access logs instead of the Cloud Flare IP. Isn't it enough?

Chain fail2ban-ssh (1 references)
 target     prot opt source               destination         
 DROP       all  --  119.235.14.8         0.0.0.0/0           
 RETURN     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0  

The input chain :

Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
