    Hi,
    Thanks to this plugin I got a mail to inform me that my website is under a brute force attack.
    Now, it’s already in citadel mode.
    I get like 7-10 blocked new IP per minute.
    What can I do ?

    The logs are getting bigger and bigger, there is a way to delete/clear them ?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi! Literally nothing. The attack eventually will be stopped and bots/hackers will be gone. The plugin doesn’t let them do something harmful.

    The size of the log depends on the following setting: Main Setting -> Activity -> Keep records for.

    They will be deleted automatically. Alternatively, you can delete them manually from the cerber_log table.
