Hello @lipowski ,
Thank you for your suggestions. Permanently blocking an IP should be manage at your hosting server’s level For example, if you are a SiteGround customer, we provide our customers with a very intuitive interface for this. Same is true for blocking an entire country. So, you can manually block IPs which are blocked for 7 days on the server level.
The reason why such blocks should better be applied on the server level is that each blocked IP in a plugin increases the site’s script executions which would eventually affect the performance of the site, when there are too many blocked IPs forever.
