Prevent Blocking Of Web Server IP Address
-
Love the plugin. Great work.
There does seem to be one flaw with auto ip block, however. Not sure how it happened, but the ip address of the site’s own web server was permanently blocked.
It’s a nasty issue due to the subtlety (most functionality keeps working) and also the severity due to being an S2 Member site. S2 Member relies pretty heavily on curl requests to endpoints of the same server. ie after a user registers, S2 will hit something like:
https://samesite.com?s2_register_notify=1
These all inexplicably stopped working.
There aren’t any errors in the usual error_log. It was only when I turned on S2 logging and waded through it all line by line that I noticed some of the response bodies were ‘Access denied.’
Any plans to add a white list, or better yet, an option to prevent the server’s own ip address from being blocked?
