    Hi,
    I’m receiving a lot of emails of ithemes banning an IP. After a close lookup, it’s in fact the server IP.
    Isn’t there a way to ignore the server IP ? It’s happening on a lot of my websites and doing that on eveyone is a little time consuming.
    Any way to add it to the plugin’s core ? Or with a filter in functions.php ?
    Thanks !

    How does such an email exactly look like ?

    What web server is your site using ?

    Is the site behind a proxy ?

    Without additional info it’s going to be difficult to help you.

    Hi !

    Yeah sorry you’re right.

    The mail is the one you receive when a host is blocked because too many tries in accessing a non existing file :
    Cher Administrateur du site,

    “Un hôte, XX.XX.XX.XX, a à été bloqué sur votre site WordPress à https://url.com à cause de trop de tentative d’accès à un fichier qui n’existe pas.

    L’hôte a été bloqué jusqu’à 2016-07-27 09:10:42 .

    *This email was generated automatically by iThemes Security. Pour modifier vos préférences de réception d’e-mail merci de vous rendre dans les réglages de l’extension.”

    I’m using EasyEngine on a DH droplet, no proxy. It’s a classic NGINX server.

    And second problem, I’m often receiving a LOT of mail for blocked users trying to connect with a wrong password. But it seems like the IP is not blocked when it should be.
