I have not banned any IP address manually but I notice with the command ̀bans that some IPs are banned:
76.3.101.16 banned for 86268 seconds
188.232.79.74 banned for 85817 seconds
188.234.251.88 banned for 86220 seconds
Where do these IP addresses come from?
I believe the daemon automatically bans peers for a day or so if they try to connect with an out of date client (pre hardfork), or possibly if they're just on the wrong chain for some other reason.
I cannot for the life of me find the original post, but this feature is meant to automatically ignore peers on old Monero versions. This autoban feature is enabled by default.
