IP Blocking

IP blocking prevents unauthorized access attempts by blocking suspicious IP addresses after repeated failed login attempts.

Accessing IP Blocking​

Navigate to Admin > IP Blocking. This feature requires Administrator access with 2FA enabled.

How It Works​

When multiple failed login attempts are detected from the same IP address, the system automatically blocks that IP. Administrators can also manually block IPs.

Blocking an IP Address​

  1. Go to Admin > IP Blocking
  2. Click Block New IP
  3. Enter the details:
    • IP Address — The IP to block
    • Reason — Why this IP is being blocked
    • Expiration — Optional expiration date and time (leave empty for permanent block)
    • Notes — Additional context
  4. Click Block

Viewing Blocked IPs​

The IP blocking dashboard shows:

  • Active blocks — Currently blocked IPs
  • Expired blocks — Previously blocked IPs whose block period has ended
  • Statistics — Active count, expired count, total blocked attempts, permanent blocks

Unblocking an IP​

  1. Find the active block in the list
  2. Click Unblock
  3. The IP is immediately removed from the block list

Statistics​

The dashboard displays key metrics:

  • Active — Number of currently blocked IPs
  • Expired — Blocks that have expired
  • Total Blocked Attempts — Cumulative login attempts prevented
  • Permanent Blocks — IPs blocked indefinitely
