IP Has Been Blocked | What Happens Next?

    We have several questions concerning this topic:

    (1) What type of page is displayed when an offending (and blocked) IP attempts to reach our website once again? Can you share a screenshot of what the page looks like?

    (2) If we block an IP using your plugin, would you recommend we also block the IP within our CDN (e.g., Cloudflare)?

    (3) Is their a way we can great a “locked out” (blocked IP) page using one of your plugin filters or a code snippet?

    Thank you!

    Hey @jetxpert

    Currently, we don’t have a custom blocking page, but we will consider adding such in the next versions. Right now we use the wp_die function, which displays a single paragraph.

    >(2) If we block an IP using your plugin, would you recommend we also block the IP within our CDN (e.g., Cloudflare)?
    Well, you can do that, but if can block an IP from the CDN, you don’t need to block it using our plugin, since the CDN handles all requests to the site.

    @sstoqnov,

    (1) Thank you. Would be great if you guys can do that. That is, display a page similar to the SiteGround template page you display when a website has been shut down by SG due to malware or an infection.

    (2) On second thought, we’ve decided it’s best to block the IPs at both the plugin level and CDN level. If either tool is down or malfunctioning, we have a backup. ??

    Cheers!
