hello - i keep getting notifications that ip address 5.188.62.5 is trying to log into a wordpress site and is being blocked at that point, but i have put the ip address into csf "quick-deny". how could the address still have login access?
Thank you, Mark Edwards
Mark, hi.
At first, make sure that ConfigServer Security & Firewall doesn't run in test mode by going to its settings. It's the first option.
Additionally make sure, that the blocked IP is not one of the local machine's IPs.
You could also try to block the IP by running: csf -d 1.2.3.4 comment.
csf -d 1.2.3.4 comment
You can get more iptables details on the given IP by running csf -g 1.2.3.4
csf -g 1.2.3.4
