    Due to the volume of abuse that websites get these days I would like to see an option added to ‘Currently Locked out IP Addresses’ that allows you to bulk select items and copy them to the ‘Permanent Block List’.

    Any ***hole hammering a site and trying to log in as ‘admin’ should be moved as swiftly to ‘permanently banned’ as possible.

    Hi, thank you for your request. Do you have the following Rename Login page enabled located under Brute Force? This would help a lot and would probably stopped too many attempts by the same person.

    Thanks MBR, I did discover and enable this ‘Rename Login page’ option. Immediately after enabling it the email notifications of blocked IPs stopped arriving.

    Since this new login page is not in the site index any attempts to scan and find it will likely trigger the server firewall.

    Ultimately this is probably the best solution because it does not fill the DB with miles of logs. If I had continued down this path the next feature request would have been to auto-prune the blocked IP logs so the DB doesn’t get too big. XD

    Cheers!
