    Someone is trying to hack my site im getting lockout continuosly. I added all locked IPs to black list (already enabled) but it’s not working.

    Even checked: I added my current IP to black list then successfully access to my site.

    admin.php?page=aiowpsec_blacklist

    Hi,

    Even checked: I added my current IP to black list then successfully access to my site.

    If the blacklist is working properly you will see a “403 Forbidden” error whenever anyone with a blacklisted IP address attempts to access your site.

    If the blacklist is not working properly, then the apache directives are not working on your server. You will need to speak to your host.

    Let me know what they say?

    Thank you

    im using google cloud + litespeed. i was using aiowps for years and found it didn’t really block xmlrpc.php (+ changed login url, found today it’s pointless) and i was getting thousands of brute force lockouts everyday, then today trying wordfence. still using aiowps on my other sites.

    blacklist isn’t working for me. or maybe it had limit. i added 1500 IPs.
    lockout is working. but after locked out, hackers already trying to xmlrpc.php (even which is blocked (supposed) by “completely block xmlrpc on aiowps setting”) but unfortunately blocking of aiowps wasn’t working. this is a vulnerability. thanks.

    Please read the following documentation aiowps-plugin-pingback-protection-settings.

    Let me know if the above helps you.

    Thank you
