Fine, but IP blocking and Cloudflare are a losing combination
-
Every day both our employees and UpTimeRobot report to me that they are being blocked. UpTimeRobot seems to always be fixed in 59 minutes.
We have a dedicated IP address at the office, and I check those blacklists this plugin interacts with and our IP address is never there. No surprise, because we do not actually do anything at our office. No hosting. No emails. Our connection to the internet is strictly to interact with outside services.
We do use CloudFlare, and I am sure that complicates things, so I do not fault the plugin and probably not the IP blacklist maintainers. But for those of you using CloudFlare and wanting to use the part of this plugin that can block by IP, be prepared to have your site inaccessible.
