    Great, Great plugin!
    But not support blocking specific IP addresses behind CDN, CloudFlare or proxy.
    It would be useful, if this plugin would handle X-Forwarded-For header.
    For example:

    SetEnvIf X-FORWARDED-FOR 43.252.228.133 DenyIP
SetEnvIf X-FORWARDED-FOR 43.252.228.133 DenyIP
Order allow,deny
Deny from env=DenyIP
Allow from all

    Hi,

    Thanks for your post.

    The reason why we didn’t add support for that is that you can easily spoof the X-Forwarded-For header, pretending to be someone else (with all the consequences).

    How do you think about this?

    Now I understood. Thanks.
