Hi Erik,

I am working on a new feature which allows admins to switch it to test mode. While in test mode, the admin will receive email notifications containing information like:
– the form that was submitted (wordpress/comment)
– test result (PASS/FAIL)
– reason for failure (if test failed)

If you need help with this, do not hesitate to contact me through https://www.goodbyecaptcha.com/contact and I’ll help you with this.

Hi,

Hi,
I was testing your website and I was able to post 2 test comments and to contact you through your contact us page.

At this time GoodBye Captcha automatically blocks the IP address (of course if this option is enabled by admin) only if it detects attempts sent by bots, not if a user made some mistakes with his login credentials.
For example: if you set Maximum Attempts per Minute to 5 and an user enters 6 times wrong login credentials GoodBye Captcha will not block his/her IP address.

On the other hand, when an web site is under Brute Force Attack, the requests (from same IP or different ones) are coming almost every second. That’s why GoodBye Captcha automatically blocks the IP address only if the number of maximum attempts per minute is reached. Getting 2-5 spam attempts every… let’s say… 5 minutes doesn’t mean the site is under attack, and for this type of attempts the admin has the option to manually block the IP address.

Another famous plugin is useful to avoid BFA and allows to block IP address only few minutes or hours (admin decides). I think it’s a very good idea.

My opinion is that if a Brute Force Attack was ever initiated from an IP address, that IP should be blocked forever, by adding it directly in .htaccess. For me, there is no reason to whitelist it after a certain period of time. This will encourage the bots to come back and try again, right?

Do you think it’s relevant for ‘GoodBye Captcha’ to enable the ability to block IP addresses only for example one hour or whatever the admin wants?

Yes, I will add this option but not for BFAs. This option will be relevant when GoodBye Captcha will lockdown users for failed login attempts. By lockdown users I mean blocking by username/ip for a certain period of time.
Stay tuned! This is already in my TO DO list and will be available shortly!

Mihai

Merci beaucoup!

Thank you so much!

Hi DFranzwa,
I still think that there was a misconfiguration or something. For not providing any feedback that’s something else… no words for that!

If you have a quick minute, a plugin review here on www.ads-software.com would make me very happy. ??

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
This was caused by Sucuri Firewall and the issue is already solved in version 1.1.11.

Hi,
There was nobody complaining that GoodByeCaptcha blocks everything so far. But let’s see what can cause this in your web site. At a first look I can see LOTS of javascript errors in your site and this can be the main cause.
Could you please send me your email address through https://www.goodbyecaptcha.com/contact/
Just in case I need some sensitive information.
Please activate GoodByeCaptcha for MailChimp sign-ups and I’ll have a look

Hi,
I have no idea what happened with my contact form when you tried to contact me. It appears to work properly.
I do not have the User Pro plugin so… I can’t tell if it’s possible or not to integrate them.
Mihai

Hi,
That field is NOT inserted by GoodByeCaptcha. If you need help with that contact me here https://www.goodbyecaptcha.com/contact/ and I’ll help you get rid of that.

Hi,

I would like to see exactly which field are you talking about. GoodByeCaptcha is NOT adding any additional visible field/label to any form.
Thanks,
Mihai
