Auto-block by URL & exclude files from scan not working.
-
1. Autoblock not working
The URL I’m using is the full url, partial url e,g, wp-login.php, /login, *login* and none them seem to result in blocking the IP.I’m using TOR so I can simulate a hack attack as it changes my source IP. I’ve whitelisted my correct IP to ensure I don’t block my correct ip. Since IP from TOR isn’t in the whitelist it should block the IP trying to access the login page, but it doesn’t.
I do have AIO WP Security enabled, is this conflicting with WordFence?
I want to use common URLs that I know hackers use to instantly ban their IP address. Thus doesn’t require much administration on my part.
I could use AIO WP Security locking of access to the login page (and it works) but it defeats the purpose of what I’m trying to do. So that feature is disabled. I still want them to access certain urls/pages that exist and by doing so it blocks their IP.
2. Exclude files from scan not working.
I’m trying to exclude wp-security-log.txt & wp-security-log-cron-job.txt by specifying “wp-security-*.txt” in the exclude box on the options page. Unfortunately if I do a scan the files still come up as issues (file change coz well they are log files). The scanner is not ignoring them when being told to and its listed as an exclusion on the options page.
Any help greatly appreciated.
