Blacklist Manager not working

Hi,

I added an IP range into the Blacklist Manager something like 195.47.89.* But I still have a lot of attempts to connect from IP range.

To confirm if the blacklist feature works in your site try using your IP address to block yourself temporarily. Please follow the steps below.

1) Make sure you are logged into your server using FTP. This will be handy to unlock yourself if needed.

2) Log into WordPress admin panel and add your IP address to the blacklist settings.

3) Try accessing your site from a browser where you are not logged in.
You should be denied access. If not, then the apache directives are not working on your server. In your case you will have to find the nginx alternative for this feature to work in your site.

Note: If the blacklist is working properly you will see a “403 Forbidden” error whenever anyone with a blacklisted IP address attempts to access your site.

Let me know how you go.

Thank you

Hello,
I can’t do that because when I try I get this message

“You cannot ban your own IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” ??

I think that nginx can’t understand Deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24

I’m going to look for an “nginx directive” that can translate this rule for nginx.

If I find one I will post it here.

Hi, I am also curious to know if there is one for nginx ??

Thank you
