Once this plugin has seen an IP address be blocked, it remembers and blocks it forever, not just for the 24 hours I have it in settings. Whitelisting it using the form in the settings screen does not remove it. Removing the block in WordFence and whitelisting the IP does there not remove it. I’ve permanently lost access to a needed service because this plugin won’t stop re-adding it to my cloudflare blocked IPs every time I remove it. An issue submitted to the developer a week ago wasn’t acknowledged. This has needlessly cost me troubleshooting time. My only choice is to remove the plugin entirely.If the developer addresses the issue I’ll change the rating and review. It’s too bad. This is a great idea and would be a really great plugin, but as long as a single accidental false positive can permanently block connection from a needed service, with no way to mitigate it other than disabling the plugin, it’s not reliable for use.

This plugin works very well and in my opinion should be part of Wordfence itself. It’s a great add-on to block unwanted traffic. The instructions are clear and it’s working immediately. Thanks for sharing it.
