    Hello,

    Today at 13:50 I blocked 192.3.191.0/25, it shows as “permanent” in the dashboard.

    Today at 18:50 I had new spams from 192.3.191.214, in “pending” comments.

    So the blocking feature does not work? There are others, from other IP blocks, like this…

    Well, we are largely spammed by bots on various addresses from Brasil, US etc. ALL IP blocks are written in Wordfence to be blocked, NO IP at all is in fact blocked, seriously thinking to uninstall wordfence to use something else!

    Hi @ruzakuku,

    The CIDR mask 192.3.191.0/25 blocks IPs from 192.3.191.0 -> 192.3.191.127. Since 192.3.191.214 is outside that range, it won’t be blocked!

    Please have a look at this:

    192.3.191.0/25 => 192.3.191.0 -> 192.3.191.127
    192.3.191.0/24 => 192.3.191.0 -> 192.3.191.255

    So the IP mask you should use is 192.3.191.0/24
