    When seeing in the Live Traffic
    Tel Aviv, Israel /wp-login.php, …

    and I block the IP manually, I would like to Block this IP not only for 6 hrs, I would like the option to edit the manual block and maybe have a dropdown option 6, 12, 24 hrs, 1 week, 1 month
    Block Type, Detail,Rule Added, Reason, Expiration, Block Count
    IP Block, 31.210.177.xxx, 11/10/2020 20:33,Manual block by administrator, 12/10/2020 02:33, 17

    Or a button on top (next to Unblock) once you select the entry to just add 12hrs, so you click it several times.

    Hi @mbeerli thanks for the suggestion!

    If you use the button on Live Traffic to block an IP address, the duration is controlled by the option “How long is an IP address blocked when it breaks a rule” in Wordfence > Firewall > All Firewall Options > Rate Limiting.

    This number can be set a value ranging from 1 minute to 1 month. Yours looks like it’s set to the 6 hours option, so take a look at the intervals in the dropdown to see if any of those work for you.

    Before I submit further suggestions to the development team, let me know if the increase in this existing time setting would be satisfactory for your needs.

    Thanks,

    Peter.
