Hi Nicholas,

Just wondering ...since I updated this week to AT Tools 2.2.10 I don't recieve any IP-ban messages also there are no new entries in the Automatic Blocking List.
Before the update I recieved several block-messages every day. I still recieve a lot of security-exception messages but non of them are blocked.
I didn't change anything in the WAF-settings. Are the spammers also on vacation or is the auto IP ban option changed that much since last update that I recieve much less blockings? (release note: ■[HIGH] The IP auto-ban did not work as expected)

Greetings, Paul

There was a bug in Admin Tools 2.2.9 which would cause innocent IPs to be banned immediately after triggering one and only one security exception, irrespective of your settings. This was causing too many IPs to be blocked –even though they shouldn't– and was subsequently fixed in 2.2.10. That's actually why I released 2.2.10.

Aha, I see. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that I recieve any IP-block message since the last update but it seemed a bit to quiet to me. ;-)

Thanks for explanation, have a nice weekend!
