    NEW FEATURE REQUEST FOR BLACKLIST

    Hello, I’ve been adding IP addresses to the Blacklist for over a year. There are tons of them.

    I would like to be able to import/export them to the Permanent Block List and remove them from my Blacklist. This way my .htaccess file isn’t so huge and if I change hosts, I don’t have to worry about whether their servers support .htaccess files.

    Unfortunately, I must add the IP addresses one at a time and this is not only time consuming but prone to errors (forgetting some).

    I would also like the ability to ADD TO Permanent Block List from the 404 Detection page.

    Is this possible? Are there any disadvantages of moving my Blacklist to the Permanent Block List? For example, any performance issues?

    Thank you for reading this and replying.

    Thanks for your post. Unfortunately there is no easy way within AIOS UI to export and import the Blacklist to the permanent block list.

    However, we completely agree about your concerns regarding .htaccess. We are currently reimplementing the blacklist so it no longer depends on .htaccess. It will use our PHP firewall instead of the .htaccess file. Which means your .htaccess won’t get populated with your blacklist IPs anymore and you can move to a host which doesn’t support .htaccess (e.g: an nginx web server).

    Although I can’t give an exact timeline of when the switch will happen, I can say that the coding has been done for it and it’s going through our quality assurance process at the moment.
