 * I keep getting lockout notices for someone attempting to hack into my site using
   brute force. They keep using the same username (which doesn’t exist). Is there
   a way to autoblock the IP of someone attempting to log in using a specific username?

 * Hi [@tprickett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tprickett/),
 * You can use the option **_Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in
   as these usernames_**. This is found in the **_Brute Force Protection_** section
   on the Wordfence **_All Options_** page.
