 * I have WordPress Security installed on the site. They are trying to get in thru
   the log in for the site. Everything is getting blocked and I blocked the country
   also. They are changing up IP addresses which are getting blocked by the country
   wide block. It is about 4 a minute and increasing. I am afraid I will get a Denial
   of Service and shut us down. I feel helpless. The added security is doing it’s
   job. Any suggestions? Here is the info on the IP address.This has been going 
   on for 8 hours so far.
    Faridabad, India was blocked by real-time IP blacklist

 * Since my initial post we have changed the IP address of the site and shut it 
   down for 24 hours since we are about to shut down for the day any way. This attack
   has been for 24 hours.

 * Hi [@paulr01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulr01/)
 * The block reason **_blocked by real-time IP blacklist_** means that you have 
   a premium license key installed on your site so you can ask for premium support
