 * It would really be handy to have the option to be able to permanently block an
   IP from the “IPs that are locked out from login” tab. I am currently copying 
   and pasting the IP number, either from the login locked out area or from the 
   notification email into the Manually Block IP area, so this would make permanent
   blocking easier. Thanks for a great plugin.

 * Wordfence- I posted a new article about this, but this goes hand in hand. I testetd
   the block feature. Worked like a charm. But now, even after I have unblocked,
   I cannot access the site on the machine with that IP address.
