Hello
Go to iThemes Security menu > “settings”.
Go to “Banned users” section and enable “ban user” checkbox.
A “Ban Hosts” Field appear and you can put in there all the china IPs (one per line).
Then “save all changes”.
Each time you see in the iThemes Security > “logs” supicious IPs copy and paste them in “Ban Hosts” Field.
For the moment, there is a bug in iThemes Security 4.2.6 for wildcards IP, i mean with “*” character to replace a range of IP. They do not work. So you have to paste each IP (one per line).
Best regards
L..
Currently you cannot block a Country as a whole without knowing the correct IPs to block. This is a feature we are working on for future versions.
@Iomars – Thank you, I realised that the wildcard doesn’t work.
@chris Wiegman – do you want to comment on the wildcard issue. I still get ips to my site, even though the wildcard is blocked, for example
I blocked:
112.444.*.*
and then ips such as this still get to my site:
11.444.123.123
I am interested in buying the pro version, but the ip blocking is rather important for me.
Especially the country blocking.
Many thanks
