    Hi, thank you for Wordfence. I think it’s brilliant.

    I’ve been getting blocked for accessing banned url messages on of my sites for nearly 48 hours now:

    Type: Blocked
    United Kingdom left https://(domain name)/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1561669232.9309959411621093750000 and was blocked for Accessed a banned URL at https://(domain name)/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1561669232.9309959411621093750000
    ?27?/?06?/?2019 ?22?:?00?:?34 (7 minutes ago)
    IP: 91.208.99.2 Hostname: outgoing2.gridhost.co.uk
    Human/Bot: Bot
    Browser: undefined

    Gridhost.do.uk is also my hosting provider. So I’ve been thinking this is a false positive. But I feel wary of unblocking the ip address. I see that it currently has a high history of abuse – see https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/91.208.99.2

    Help and opinions much appreciated.

    Thaanks, H

  • Hey @imlosingthewill,

    I don’t think you should unblock the IP. Especially seeing the history of the IP. The fact that your host owns it could be purely coincidental. It looks to me like Wordfence is doing its job at locking out a bot that’s exploring your site. There’s only so much we can do prevent attacks, it’s more about making sure they aren’t successful, which it looks like Wordfence is doing.

    Please let us know if anything else comes up.

    Thanks,

    Gerroald

    Thanks, Gerroald.
    It’s been five days now and almost continuous – a little wearing on the nerves. But thank you, I won’t unblock.
    Thanks a million for your help.
