It has been an attack from China so I have activated Geo Blocking from China but I received a lot of Security Exceptions everyday changind the ip but all from China. So I have done this process:
- Activated and Configured Geo Blocking.
[list=2] Activated auto Block ip for attacks inside one hour.
No fake users appear now on my site since I applied this options. But security exceptions from GeoBlocking are many so I have disabled mail notification. I have some questions.
Is it necessary to add all ip´s from GroBlocking to Black list. Are a lot changing?
Do you recommend me apply any other security actions on my site to prevent massive security exceptions?
