 Hi,
I have regularity set Admin Tools in Auto-ban Repeat Offenders (i send you screenshot), but I had in a short time fourteen times security exception (Admin Query String) on my site and offenders isn't blocked! After going in IP Lookup, I see that this is Invalid IP address (unknown)...
Please whether there is a way to block this attacks?

Thank you,
Andrija

Well, your problem is that your server doesn't report the IP address of the visitor correctly. Please contact your host and ask them to configure the web server to forward the IP addresses of the visitors to PHP. If they already do that please remind them that they have to make sure that the same applies for IPv6 addresses. Since your issue is caused by server configuration, not a problem in our software, we can't do much more to help you. Sorry!
