Hi, thanks for your comprehensive response, some of which is above my knowledge limit. I’ve had no reported lockouts for a couple of days since clearing the cache. I did note the ip address when I was being locked out and it was the correct address as I was able to allow it in defender and that solved it until my VPN changed addresses.

I’llsee how it goes with the cache cleared for a while.

Thanks, Mick

Hi,

1/ When I was locked out using a VPN, this event was logged by defender, I entered the locked out ip address in the allowed ip’s but because the VPN would change ip’s randomly it wasn’t a solution. So when I access my website to make alterations I have to use my own fixed ip which never has a problem.

2/ The blocked access of random general public (just wishing to view my site) is never logged and is not always using VPN. There is also no specific browser involved. I understand that this is very difficult to diagnose.

Hi,

Firewall log does not return anything referring to the general public lockouts. I don’t have a problem myself as long as I use my static ip address that’s registered with Defender, if I use my VPN it will on occasions lock me out.

yes it’s the latest version, 3.7.0.

Hi Nithin, I can’t replicate these lockouts. I understand (I think) about cached pages, there are times when I’ve used my vpn and I’ve been locked out myself. Using my static ip address which I’ve entered in the allowed ip addresses I don’t get a problem. I’ve cleared any cached pages now to see if that helps. Here’s the website https://mickpaytonstudios.co.uk/

Thanks!

Hi Kris, no it’s not 404 errors, they are random public just wanting to view my website content, no log-ins or any other access used, just basic viewing my site’s content. There doesn’t seem to be any common pages that cause the problem and nothing suspicious in the Logs either.

Yes Jeff, that’s correct

Thanks for your reply.
What I’m trying to do is create a quiz that’s free to take but offer the user the chance to pay if they achieve a passing grade. So rather than have them pay before taking the quiz I was using the redirect on the Outcomes page to send them off to payment processing and then if payment accepted display the grade and provide a certificate etc. Is there a way to construct the URL of the Final Output page?

Any thoughts on how I might achieve the desired result?
Thank you.
