 * I have a problem dont know how that happend. I have seen the user of the ip 142.54.184.181
   is trying some exploits on my site. So i banned his range 142.54.184.0-142.54.184.255(
   no label) in simple firewall. But wehn i get up i checked in the morning that
   he try exploiting my site again with the same ip at night when i was sleeping.
   Is firewall suppose to block that guy ?

 * We will be releasing a big update to the firewall plugin on Monday. Here is the
   blog post about it:
 * [https://www.icontrolwp.com/2015/08/wordpress-security-plugin-update-automatically-block-malicious-visitors/](https://www.icontrolwp.com/2015/08/wordpress-security-plugin-update-automatically-block-malicious-visitors/)
 * And yep, it will completely block access to the site when the visitor is on the
   black list. Of course, the visitor has to load WordPress for this to take affect…
   if they by pass normal WordPress loading, then no, they wont be blocked.

 * the new black list for IP addresses should be available now. You might be as 
   well to delete your old manual list… it wont really be needed.

 * I am Polish. Is there a way to change this:
 * > You have been black listed by the WordPress Simple Firewall plugin.
   > You tripped the security plugin defenses a total of 3 times making you a suspect.
   > 
   > If you believe this to be in error, please contact the site owner.
 * To Polsih ? It will be some updates to make changes to it using the plugin ?
