2.15.3. Block IP addresses

Our hosting has a security system that blocks IP addresses engaged in malicious activity. Reasons why an IP address may be blocked:

• Brute force (attempt to guess passwords):
  • To CMS.
  • To mailboxes.
  • FTP.
  • MySQL.
• Participation in a DDoS attack.
• Flooding sites.
• Attempt to download a large number of sites.

Blocking may result in the following behavior of our protection system:

• Blocking access to certain protocols or servers.
• Blocking POST requests.
• Complete blocking of access to all servers.

To remove the block, check whether your computers are infected with viruses and whether there is an administrator in your office or network who could perform actions that could cause the block. Some blocks can be removed independently via DDoS protection or Firewall.
