I have the same issue. Specific usernames blocked, some IP addresses blocked but still getting attempts to log in using blank username.
One time I got more than 1,500 attemps within several hours.

Very annoying not to be able to directly block these attackers.

Hi,
So there is no way to block people form the admin section. The approach makes sense, whitelist all internal IPs while at the same time enforce the most strict restrictions for logins from outside the range.
This will mean the whitelisted IPs will not have ANY restrictions right?

Ok, my bad, since it actually lets you enter several ranges but not comma-separated but as several entries in the list.
But it will only let you block not whitelist.
Additionally is this intended for blocking everyone to the whole site or just wp-admin?
