Hi

I use RS Forms in my site and was under attack with constant submissions from the same IP address, but when I added this IP address into the IP Blacklist, it had no effect and form submissions continue.

Does the blacklist not work in this way?

Grateful for any advice.

Thanks

Dave

Did you also enable the IP blacklisting feature in the Configure WAF page? By default it is disabled to prevent an unnecessary database query when you are not using the IP blacklisting feature.
