'permanent' blocking becoming unblocked

    When I manually block an IP, the response is that it’s permanent. Now I’ve noticed that they’re all going to be unblocked within hours. Not my idea of permanent!

    What’s the easiest way to make them all permanent – again – without clicking on every single one – again?

    Hi,

    Have you gone to the Blocked IP’s section and clicked “Make Permanent” for the IP address you want to block? Is that not working for you?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Yes, that’s the way I made them permanent, one by one. Is there a way to make all of them permanent at the same time, with one stroke?

    I understand. There is currently not a way to do a mass permanent block on multiple IP addresses.

    You could always set the block time longer. 1 month is the max. Since attacks usually come from dynamic IP’s the hackers would have moved on to new addresses. You’d want to be careful with this so you don’t block people on accident though.
