Automatically blocked IP not shown in Blocked tab of Activity Log
-
Hello,
I use the “Limit Login Attempts” functionality (with a limit number of 3) of the plugin to prevent brute force attacks. However, in the “Blocked” tab of the “Activity Log” panel, I have never seen any entry corresponding to currently automatically blocked IP addresses (while I have several access attempts to wp-login.php in my logs).
So, I did several tests with always the same result: While the plugin successfully blocks my IP address after wrong login attempts, no corresponding entry is visible in the “Blocked” tab of Activity log.
According to SiteGround tutorial (https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/sg-security/login-security/), it should be listed in this blocked tab :
Limit Login Attempts
Sets a limit to the number of times a given user can attempt to log in to your wp-admin with incorrect credentials. Once the login attempt limit is reached, the IP from which the attempts have originated will be blocked from accessing your login page for 1 hour and will be added in the Blocked tab of the Activity Log page. …
You can manually remove the block at any point in the Activity Log page > Blocked tab > the context menu in Actions next to the IP you wish to unblock.”Could you clarify this point ? Thanks in advance.
