    Thank you for the explanation of the pipeline for the blocking engine. For the Global URL Exclusions the text below the input box states “Add one URL Path or fragment per line.”

    Can you expand on the implementation of “fragment” ? Example – I have multiple graphics for the various favicon files – favicon.ico, favicon.svg, favicon-96×96.svg. Which of the following fragments would match all 3 of the listed files in the Global URL Exclusions input
    A) /favicon (leading substring)
    B) favicon* (shell wildcard-style)
    C) regex-style (^\/favicon.*$

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply – I’ve added the files to the Global URL Exclusions list, and will follow-up here with what I observe in the logs.

    I was confused when I received a 404 when I tried to access one of the files directly, from my whitelisted admin desktop. Apparently the order in which tests are applied is different than what I thought I remembered reading. Where can I find detailed information about configuring the plugin correctly?

    Example: I’m observing logged entries for “43.155.140.157” – AIB Community Block followed by a 403.
    This IP address would also match the active GeoLocation Block for Korea (KR), or the manual ASN Block for AS132203 I created, but it appears the AIB test is being performed first.

    Good responses, @inilerm

    The second one provided much more of the details I was looking to understand – especially because I didn’t explain the root question in my original post, and you correctly anticipated my concern in your second response.

    I am much more comfortable that the AIB blocks are not likely to block innocent users. Thank you
