    Hello.

    MEDIUM – 173.xxx.xxx.xx HEAD /wp-login.php – Blocked access to the login page – [bot detection is enabled]

    I see several of these. The above IP is the server IP (my Cpanel access IP). Not sure why the server want’s to access WP login and why the plugin considers it as a bot.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Ok, found it.

    This is caused when i EDIT a WP Page (Gutenberg) that contains a link to my WP login page.

    An easy way to make that happen is to preview while in Gutenberg.

    You can whitelist your server IP address with the .htninja script.
    Scroll down to the “ALLOW / BLOCK” section to see some examples:

    <?php
/*
 +===========================================================================================+
 | NinjaFirewall optional configuration file                                                 |
 |                                                                                           |
 | See: https://blog.nintechnet.com/ninjafirewall-wp-edition-the-htninja-configuration-file/ |
 +===========================================================================================+
*/

if ( $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] == '1.2.3.4' ) {
   return 'ALLOW'; // whitelist
}

    Thank you.

    This is kinda strange since the CRON that uses the same IP works just fine.
