[BlueOnyx:12178] BX Security > Failed Logins screen

[David Thacker]

Greetings,

Just wanted to pass on an idea that popped into my head, before it 
disappears: it would be cool and handy if the Failed Login History > 
Blocked Hosts screen had an input box and a button "Block this Host IP:". 
Perhaps a checkbox "Permanently block IP". When the admin enters an IP and 
clicks the Block button, that IP would be added to the currently blocked 
hosts.

Just like those IPs that have been automatically blocked by rules, the 
manually blocked host would be purged after the specified time period 
(unless the "Block permanently" checkbox was also selected). If a host was 
blocked "Permanently" then the admin would have to use the Unblock button 
to remove them from the blocked list.

Same goes for the Blocked Users screen, with a "Block this User:" button.

Regards,
