 * Hello,

   it seems that wordfence detects it but, does not block ip on firewall, what is
   wrong with plugin? Please help!

 * Hi [@codeman1234](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codeman1234/)
 * When you say that Wordfence detects an attack but doesn’t prevent it please provide
   a very precise and detailed description of what you think isn’t working.
 * Also provide links to an image sharing service with screenshots if that will 
   help explain things.
