Hi
I like very much this admin tools. I use all my sites which are available.

One of my site get a lot of warning from admin tools. But my site is still ok now.
A lot of IP and individual countries and they try to get admin backend, upload file, etc..

So I add their ip in site IP black list in admin tools.

Is there a way to add many ip in IP black list.

I don't know why try to attack my site. www.centralmdy.net.

Thanks.

I would recommend against manually adding IPs to the blacklist. Hackers use temporarily assigned IPs or hacked computers belonging to legitimate users on commercial ISPs. This means that after a while (hours to days) the IP that attacked you will be reassigned to a legitimate user. By permanently blocking the IP you will be denying access to legitimate visitors.

The best thing you can and should do is let Admin Tools temporarily and automatically ban IP addresses that attack you. This automatic banning follows the settings you can define in Components, Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, Auto-ban Repeat Offenders.

Hi
Thanks for your guide. I remove ip from site ip blacklist.
I configure in Auto-ban Repeat Offenders 3 attacks in 1 hours.
Block for this long 2 hours.
