Automatic Blacklisting

  • I have what I think is a good idea for the plugin –?automatic blacklisting.

    On several of my sites, I get hammered with bots coming from particular IP ranges. Unless I manually blacklist, they keep hitting the site dozens of times a day. Eventually, I get P.O.’d and blacklist them. But then, they switch to different I.P.s and the game starts again.

    I think it would be a great thing for AIO to have an automatic blacklisting feature. If Login Lockdown and/or other features stop a hacker/bot, and certain user defined criteria is met (like X # of attempts in 12 hours), he/she/it gets moved over to the blacklist automatically!

    I would think this is relatively simple to code, and I know it would save me a tremendous amount of time and aggravation –?not to mention bandwidth. I’m pretty sure it would do the same for others.

    TX for all that you, and Happy New Year to all.

    Hi KSteinmann thank you for your suggestion. One of the plugin developers will assess your suggestion further.

    Kind regards

    Yes this feature will make wonders. As blacklisting will deny all request to the website via htaccess which will reduce the number of client DB connections, but just increases the CPU usage of Apache/IIS. I need this feature very badly.
