Manual IP Block seems to not Block in Wordfence

    I have several manually blocked IP addresses in Wordfence and in the blocked section I can see their last attempt date and the block count. But I also have an IP tracker that shows what page people visit by their IP and I can see the people that I blocked are visiting several new pages made after they were blocked versus multiple attempts to a single page like the home page and being blocked. They couldn’t bookmark the new pages and the pattern of their viewing appears to actually be viewing versus multiple attempts to view the site in general. So it would seem they are not being blocked from viewing the site. I believe they are permanently blocked as the ‘make permanent’ button is disabled (indicated already done).. What else do I need to do or am I misunderstanding what Blocked IPs means?

    I’m afraid you’ll need to contact Wordfence support as this isn’t a product we provide support for. Thanks.

    Understood. Wordfence literally posted on their forum to post questions here when someone said they don’t respond to questions.. This would seem to validate the initial posters comment..
