Hi

I am getting a lot of 404 Shield notification by email (Thumbs Up for this feature!)
I would like to blacklist them straight away, after the first attempt.

They are all appearing in the Auto ban List, but not the Blacklist?

We have set the IP blacklisting of persistent offenders to: "Yes"
We have set the auto ban: Permanently blacklist IP after to "1"

Can you clarify... Should they also appear in the Site IP Blacklist, or do we have to wait until they try again? In other words more than 1 attempt?

Note: I see that I can manually add them using the "red flag" button in the "security exceptions log screen", but if they are trying these pages we want them stopped at 1 attempt, not after 1 attempt?

Have I missed something?

Thanks in advance

Colin
