IP block or ban Function

[agegold]

I'm a SubSonic user who donated before.

Since few days ago, looks like someone tries to login to my SubSonic server so many times, with wrong password.

So I'd like to kindly request you to make a function which can block specific IP for about 4~5 hours when some user failed to login more than five times.

Block the IP address on your firewall/router.

I don´t see the benefit to ban the IP address if the user cannot authenticate successfully anway. Or does it lock out a legitimate user (not sure whether subsonic does that, there are pros and cons) because you shared credentials back some time?

Ip banning is to prevent brute forcing. Right you you could pretty easily write a script which could try the most common 2-3 million passwords in less then a day, giving you access to 99% of the accounts on a standard server.
