I have been having an issue with an IP that will not leave my admin directory alone. I have changed it so it does not go there when I first started using AT but it is filling my logs up and I could stop that but prefer to see who it is.
I have tried the siteIP Blacklist range all ways and they still get through. Was wondering if there is any suggestion?
the range is Turkey 185.85.--- and 185-86.---. I can't see a bot through my raw access but I do see the IP's and they are not at the admin.??

Please help and Thank You in Advance.

Hello,

fighting the bots usually is a worthless effort, most likely you're dealing with a swarm of infected Internet Of Things devices (usually cheap web surveillance cameras). The only solution is to duck and wait until the wave passes, you can read more info here
