Hi,
But the entries with IP addresses that are in an IP address range (xxx.xxx.xxx. *) Of entries in the blacklist do not receive this note.
What note is entered for these type of IP addresses?
Thank you
Hi,
In the case of IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in the blacklist, “blacklisted” appears in the last column of the “404 detection” and if an IP address range (xxx.xxx.xxx.* or xxx. xxx.*.*) is in the blacklist that contains this specific IP address from the “404 detection”, no “blacklisted” is shown in the last column of the “404 detection”.
Sorry, I can only speak a little English, which is why I use Google’s translater.
Hi, are you talking about the following feature Enable 404 IP Detection and Lockout: found under WP Security -> Firewall -> 404 Detection?
I just discovered that only IP addresses that are blacklisted with a complete IP address are marked with a note in the firewall (404 detection).
Blacklist Manager has nothing to do with 404 Detection.
Kind regards
Hi,
if I execute the entries listed under WP Security> Firewall> 404 Detection with the action “Blacklist IP”, the relevant IP address is added to the WP Security> Blacklist and receives in the column “Blocking status from WP Security> Firewall> 404 detection of the entry “blacklisted”.
If I have numerous similar IP addresses with different last or penultimate blocks, but which are otherwise the same, I converted these direct IP addresses to IP address ranges with the star in the WP Security> Blacklist and removed the others relevant IP addresses from this IP address range. (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> xxx.xxx.xxx.* or xxx.xxx.*.*)
After this change in WP Security> Blacklist, these relevant entries in WP Security> Firewall> 404 Detection are no longer marked as “blacklisted” in the “Blocked Status” column of WP Security> Firewall> 404 Detection.
Kind regards
Addendum: Occasionally I only use small IP address ranges like (xxx.xxx.xxx.x*) so as not to exclude too many immediately.
Hi,

Now I understand what you mean. This is how the plugin currently behaves. Those IP addresses are now added to the Blacklist feature. There is no need to also mark them as blacklisted in 404 Detection.
Note: If an IP address is originally Blacklisted, then that IP address will not be able to access your site at all.
Kind regards
Hi,
Yes, I know that, but if you have to go through several list pages WP Security> Firewall> 404 Detection and don’t want to block all of them, you can lose track of which one is already in a range on the first pages of the list grabbed and which are not yet on the blacklist.
Or you are forced to go through the entire list to the end before revising the blacklist.
Kind regards
Hi,
I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your request.
Thank you
