  Hi,

  Is is possible to configure Configserver to block IPs which are hammer a site’s wordpress wp-login ?

  I’m getting loads across different sites on the same server and would like to block at server level.

  I already have all wp-admin pages blocked by http auth but robots are still hammering at wp-login, which creates load on server.

  Thanks.

  I didn’t find the right solution from the internet.
