 * Hi,
    I have presale question about SMART 404 BLOCKING feature. Where I can get
   to detailed information about it? Can i setup: 1. How many 404 hits on the same(
   or different?) file or page will trigger a lockout? 2. Notification on 404 block
   event? 3. Permanent ban after several temporary bans? 4. Allowlist for some files
   extensions, pages, folders?
 * Thanks, Dmitry

 * Hi,
 * You can set the max amount of 404 hits in a time period for example you can allow
   up to 5 404 events in a 10 minute window.
 * You can also instantly permanent ban an IP if they access a URL that contains
   a string (that you have set).
 * Theres currently no notifications on 404 block events, but a list of all the 
   blocks can be found in the plugin. A general notification system in the plugin
   is something that is being worked on.
 * Anything that matches the smart 404 rules will result in a permanent ban, theres
   another section in the plugin for monitoring 404s that allow you to issue temporary
   bans.
 * There is a whitelist for IPs.
 * Best Wishes,
 * Ashley
