 Hi there,

There is a nifty tool (php script) on myip.ms that allows additions of blacklisted IP addresses to .htaccess via a cron job. I'm not familiar with cron jobs, but can learn.

What i would prefer though is that the cron job does not update .htaccess. rather i'd prefer it to update the Site IP Blacklist on WAF config.

1. Is the above even possible?
2. If yes, please teach me how its done :)
3. If its not possible, will Admin Tools deny such cron job updates to .htaccess?

Hello,

you can't automatically import your IP using a CRON job, however you can manually import a list of IP from the IP Blacklist page inside the WAF Configuration.
If you want to have an example of the structure of the file, you can simply try to export them from the same page and take a look at resulting file.
