We have a comprehensive knowledgebase here: https://help.getshieldsecurity.com/

Also, if you like at Config > IP Blocking > Offenses Limit, you’ll see links to help desk articles embedded directly within the plugin.

We outline the offense expiration option here: https://help.getshieldsecurity.com/article/210-what-is-the-auto-block-expiration-option

To your specific example, if depends on what you set the expiration as. If it is 1 minute, then for your example, no. If it is 1 day, and all the offenses fall within 24hrs of the previous offense, then yes, it will count as 5 offenses and auto block (assuming you set the limit to 5).

Hopefully that makes sense. If you see a particular help desk article that needs clarification, please let us know and we’ll set about improving it… Your feedback would be very helpful!
