Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames

    When a hacker tries to login to my sites with the wrong username, I add that username to “Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames”

    Then after this is saved, I get an alert (from Sucuri-why not wordfence?) that a user tried to login with a username on my blocked list. When I check the traffic the user’s IP is not blocked. This is every single instance across multiple sites.

    What gives?

  • Hey @nicklock,

    This sounds like it may be a plugin conflict. Are you able to disable Sucuri and see if you’re able to reproduce it?

    Thanks,

    Hey @nicklock,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’ve gone ahead and marked this thread as resolved.

    Please feel free to open another thread if you’re still having issues with Wordfence.

    Thanks,

    Gerroald
