 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to include a feature for blocking IPs based on an rDNS lookup?
   I’d like to, for example, block tor exit nodes and AWS ranges.
 * Cheers

 * Good timing — this feature was just added in today’s release! After updating 
   Wordfence, check out the new Hostname field on the Advanced Blocking page on 
   Wordfence’s menu. There are examples below the field.
 * Note that this can slow down your site’s response time a bit, because Wordfence
   will have to look up the hostname before a page is loaded for a visitor for the
   first time.
 * Let us know if you have any questions on it.
