    Hi.
    How to automatically block who’s tryings/testings / sends direct requests to Plugins (files) and Themes (files) …..
    try to find plugins / themes…
    404 is not enough for trying plugin and themes file testings – those IP should be auto block.

    How can I do that….

    Thanks
    Fred

    Hi,

    NinjaFirewall doesn’t block IPs, it blocks threats. If there is no threat, it does not block it. That is the default behaviour of a web application firewall.
    If you want to ban an IP after its request was blocked, use an application like Fail2ban that will parse the firewall logs and block it.
    Or if you want to manually block specific IPs, use the .htninja file.

    I do not recommend to send a ‘404 Not Found’ error code, but a 403 or 400 code instead.
