Problem statement:
How do I permanently block a user?
Based on your documentation here, we found that after 30 days have passed, the user’s brute force blocked status will be lifted. However, we want to retain the block status even after the 30 days have passed.
Where can we configure our settings for a permanent blocked status no matter how much time has passed?
Solution:
Unfortunately, the 30-day brute force protection period is fixed and cannot be changed. With that said, the 30-day window only resets after 30 days of inactivity from an IP address.
Meaning that if there continue to be failed login attempts from a specific IP address, it will be blocked perpetually until 30 days of inactivity have passed.
