Plugin not blocking IP Addresses

    Heya,

    Plugin is working really well up to a point. It is logging failed logins, IP addresses and the reason for the failed login. It isn’t blocking IP’s at all though, even temporarily.

    How does this part of the functionality work?
    I’m assuming it is meant to auto-block IP’s for 24 hours and you can manually perma-block if you choose.

    Where do I permanently block IP’s?

    Can’t see anything obvious in the database and if it is supposed to write this somewhere to the file system can you provide the location relative to the plugin or theme please as we run things with restricted privilege unless specifically needed.

    I’ve realised the perma blocking and deleting IP’s is in the settings. Sorry I missed that.

    The problem remains that the plugin doesn’t appear to be autoblocking on multiple failed logins.

    Also related to setting up perma-blocking – where is the list of previous logins stored? It’d be useful to be able to copy them from the log into a text file for analysis. I can’t cut and paste from the reports interface.
