    I am on the latest WP, and LAMP components. I get thousands of WordPress.xmlrpc.php.system.multicall.Amplification.Attack on my Fortinet 60E firewall. I thought I might disable XMLRPC on each web site. When I install your plugin, the site crashes immediately. I can’t even get to the main page without a technical error. I also saw 10+ Allow from entries in the .htaccess file. What are those?

    I am protected by my firewall. IPS is blocking them for 7 days.

    hello @scsiraidguru,
    can you tell me your website’s PHP version?
    Those IPs for webpack service you can remove from plugin settings.

    It looks like you have a conflict with the theme or other plugins.
    To determine what caused the problem I need to see the error log,
    Can you send your website error log?

    Probably 100 of these errors.

    It’s a rare condition that mod_rewite does not enable in your server.
    This plugin needs that module to work.
