    Hi,

    how can i send locked ips to permanent blacklist?

    Are you talking about Permanent Block List tab located in the Dashboard? If not, which feature are you referring too?

    Thank you

    yeah permanent block list(wrong translation of the plugin appraently cause the phrase used here is equal to blacklist in english).
    anyways long story short: someone is brute forcing my admin account and aiowps is locking their ips , now my question is how can i send those locked ips to permanent block list so they can never brute force again!?

    Hi,

    Have you enabled one of the Brute Force features in the plugin? This would substantially stop brute force login into your site admin panel.

    now my question is how can i send those locked ips to permanent block list so they can never brute force again!?

    The permanent block list was added to cater for the following.

    – Auto blocking of comment spammers – go to SPAM Prevention -> Comment SPAM IP Monitoring tab. You can enable auto blocking of comment spammer IPs based on minimum spam comments they produce.
    – Spammers who register for wordpress accounts and are manually blocked by the administrator – go to User Registration -> Manual Approval tab. If the manual approval checkbox is selected, this tab will list those users pending approval and you can block selected IP addresses permanently.

    Let me know if the above helps you.

    Kind regards
