I've seen a couple other related tickets and they were great to read.
I love the idea of the 404 Shield feature. Is there a way to auto-ban (not just block once) the IP for someone attempting to add a specific suffix to the URL? ie: .../wp-admin , .../admin , etc
Maybe this is done through the query parameters?
Thanks!

Hello,

the 404 Shield raises security exceptions like all other features of Admin Tools (for example wrong access details).
This means that if the user raises too many exceptions in a limited amount of time, he will be banned as usual.

I understand the blocking process. My question was regarding specific URLs.

A customer might have bookmarked a page that's no longer available. I don't want to ban a customer because they don't believe or understand the 404.

However, a hacker that's probing to see if it's a wordpress site or is searching for an admin panel is another story.

I didn't see settings for the 404 Shield so I will try setting up some specific URLs in the query parameters.
