    Hi everyone,

    I would like to know if it was possible to consult a log of manually unblocked IP addresses. Indeed, in the ‘Blocking’ tab, I mistakenly unblocked an already blocked IP address and I would like to block it again… :/

    Do you have an idea ?

    Thank you in advance

    Hello @jestofunk and thanks for reaching out!

    Unfortunately, is no way of viewing old blocked IPs within Wordfence.

    Typically, we do not recommend long-term or permanent blocks being used regularly, so you can always keep an eye out for it in Live Traffic, or any regular attacks and go from there. Even when IPs are added to the Firewall > Blocking area (where you see most of the current blocks and permanent blocks), you can check the Last Activity tab to see if it is something that is recurring or has cooled off. Attackers switch IPs regularly, so it’s usually recommended to remove blocks on IPs that are no longer attacking or haven’t for some time.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks!
