Support
1

hi,

i am using WP and i see that there is one ip that constantely try to acess to my server admin interface…
and it getting blocked after trying to guess password ( i see it with a help of wordfence plugin…)

1 . what is the best way to block it ?

like this ?
iptables -A INPUT -s IP—ADRESS -j DROP

  1. will this stay after reboot ? i don’t remember how to save it forever :wink:

Hm, I don’t know if it’s being catched by fail2ban ? But if it is, instead of manually messing with iptables (which is a complicated tool) I would rather recommend enabling the “recidive” jail in fail2ban

Not yet, but I work on it.

nobody can reply do my question ?

Actually, it seems there’s a work to plug Wordpress to fail2ban.

You can ban the IP via fail2ban. Don’t actually know how to do this, I think we can find some tutorials about it.

You can use the script using ipset https://github.com/trick77/ipset-blacklist
Maybe we can implement this script with YunoHost to ease to ban ip’s and limit access.
