Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Your plugin is great!
Yes. This option is active. I have a lot of traffic from this spam hoster.
Examples:
192.3.66.141 host.colocrossing.com
107.174.34.117 107-174-34-117-host.colocrossing.com
206.217.129.228 206-217-129-228-host.colocrossing.com
23.94.14.137 host.colocrossing.com
host.colocrossing.com is a terrible a nuisance.

Maybe you use a special plugin to handle/process comments? Like a special comment form?

We have the GDPR here and I have created my own plugin for data protection.
It inserts a privacy checkbox and shortens the IP addresses. I do not think that this is a problem. For testing, I can disable the options.
Here are the links:
Plugin WP H-Data Protection…
Files on GitHub…
Option Privacy Checkbox…
Option delete IP…
I think, you can translate with Google.

Could you find those spam submits on the Traffic Inspector page and show me one of them? I need to see a whole set of form fields in the “POST fields” section (click “Details”).
These settings must be turned on: “Save request fields” and “Protect comment form with bot detection engine”.

Hello Gioni,
Thank you for your help. Your plugin blocks the spams correctly and is OK. I want to block the spam hoster. With this code in the file htaccess it works now:
order deny,allow
deny from .host.colocrossing.com
deny from .colocrossing.com
Hoster colocrossing.com is a damn spam hoster!
