The Automatic Blocklisting feature is not working for the Administrator Log In area

RSFirewall!'s automatic blocklisting feature was designed to blocklist the IP's of repeat offenders. This is available for both the website's frontend and its administration area.

This feature can be configured by heading to RSFirewall! > Configuration > Active Scanner > scroll down to Automatic Blocklisting and:

• Enable Automatic blocklisting to enable automatic blocklisting for the website's frontend
• Enable Automatic blocklisting for admin area to enable automatic blocklisting for the website's backend log-in area

You can set up a number of attempts after which the IP will be automatically blocklisted in the # of attempts field.

Note that there are 2 protection methods available for the backend log in area: the aforementioned automatic blocklisting feature and the CAPTCHA antispam.

If repeat offenders are not automatically blocklisted in accordance with the settings you made in the backend (in the # of attempts field), please make sure that you have disabled the CAPTCHA antispam.

To disable the CAPTCHA for the backend log in area, please head to RSFirewall! > Configuration > Active Scanner > scroll down to the CAPTCHA area and disable the Enable CAPTCHA for the admin area.
