WF failed to automatically block 'admin'

  • Hi, I love WordFence plugin!
    I recently installed in on a site that was hacked and am testing the plugin.

    I also have the plugin WP security installed because it allows me to mask the login page.

    I have Wordfense set up to immediately block ips for attempted logins for “admin”.

    And also to lockout invalid users: “admin” is an invalid user.

    This morning when I revied the live trafic log i see two attempted logins from same ip for “admin”

    Should this ip have been blocked after the first attempt?

    ==============================================
    Poland Poland attempted a failed login using an invalid username “admin”.
    IP: 155.133.82.112 [block]
    Hostname: 155.133.82.112

  • Hi,

    How long do you have set for “How long is an IP address blocked when it breaks a rule”?

    Thanks,
    Brian
