Manually blocking 1 IP address

    Maybe I’m overlooking something, but I’d like to block a single IP address from accessing my site, but when I try to enter it into the “IP address range” in the Advanced Blocking section, Wordfence obviously complains because a single IP address isn’t a range of IPs. I’ve tried using xxx.xxx.xxx.109 and xxx.xxx.xxx.109-xxx.xxx.xxx.109. Neither worked.

    To get around this for now I blocked xxx.xxx.xxx.109-xxx.xxx.xxx.110, but I’d really just like to block the single IP. Is this possible?

    Yes, you can block a single IP address, but the field is on a different page.

    On the Wordfence menu, just choose “Blocked IPs” instead of Advanced Blocking, and enter the address in the field at the top.
