Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Advanced IP Blocker
This feature automatically blocks incoming traffic from IP addresses that lack an Autonomous System Number (ASN) and Reverse DNS (rDNS) record. Since legitimate traffic almost always has these identifiers, Ghost IPs are often malicious actors trying to hide. Please note that this can cause false positives if a legitimate Internet Service Provider (ISP) has misconfigured their rDNS.
Our new Captcha Integrations allow you to seamlessly connect modern verification challenges like Cloudflare Turnstile and hCaptcha to your security modules. You can set a Global Default Engine and even apply different challenges granularly per module. To ensure your site never breaks, it includes a smart fallback to our invisible JS Challenge if your API keys are ever misconfigured or missing.
Instead of a single global rate limit for your entire site, Advanced Rules allow you to define custom limits for specific URLs or endpoints. You can define the maximum number of requests, the time window, and the specific action (like returning a 429 error, a 403 block, or triggering a Turnstile/hCaptcha challenge) for each endpoint independently. This is ideal for protecting sensitive areas like login pages or APIs with stricter limits while allowing normal traffic on the rest of the site.
This feature automatically engages a global JavaScript challenge to protect your server resources from massive spikes in malicious traffic. It monitors the number of blocks within a specific time window and, if the threshold is reached, it shields the entire site. Legitimate administrators, verified bots (like Googlebot), and explicitly excluded URLs are bypassed. You can configure the thresholds and notification preferences under Security > Settings > Core Protections.
It is a powerful built-in utility located in your Security menu (and top admin bar) that allows you to manually inspect any IP address or Autonomous System Number (ASN). It instantly cross-references the subject against your Geolocation databases, Threat Scoring system, AbuseIPDB, Spamhaus drops, and local whitelists/blocklists. It is the ultimate tool for investigating suspicious traffic or verifying if a legitimate user was blocked by a specific rule.
The scanner checks your site in two ways: Local Scan: Checks for outdated PHP versions, WordPress core updates, debug mode risks, and SSL status. This runs locally and instantly. Deep Scan (Vulnerability Audit): Checks your installed plugins and themes against our central database of known security vulnerabilities (CVEs). This process is manual (you click a button) to ensure it never slows down your site during normal operation.
The Audit Log is your site's "black box". It records critical administrative actions such as plugin activations, settings changes, and file modifications. This helps you identify "who did what and when," which is essential for troubleshooting and security forensics.
The FIM scans your critical core files (wp-config.php, .htaccess, index.php) and specific plugin files daily. It takes a "fingerprint" (hash) of the file. If the file changes (e.g., malware adds a line of code), the fingerprint changes, and the plugin alerts you immediately via email.
To ensure maximum performance as the network grows. Storing thousands of IPs in standard WordPress options (wp_options) can slow down a site. By moving this data to a dedicated, indexed database table (wp_advaipbl_community_ips), we ensure that lookups are lightning-fast (O(1) complexity) and consume negligible memory, regardless of how many threats we track.
It is a collaborative security feature where users share anonymized data about verified attacks (like SQL injections caught by the WAF or IPs flagged by AbuseIPDB). Our central server aggregates this data to create a global blocklist of active threats. You can choose to contribute data ("Join") and/or use the global list to protect your site ("Enable Blocking").
