Craig Hesser on "[Plugin: Wordfence Security] Suggestion - block locked-out IP's system-wide"

Hi,

A suggestion with a question in front. Is there a way to block an IP address throughout the Wordfence system?

That would seem to be a logical move, since most of the break-in attempts are from computers where the operators do not even know they are attacking websites. If it is done properly (and do not ask me how!) it could also thwart DDOS attacks, I think. I started developing this for my websites (around 40) but the list gets too long (almost 1000 at this point) to handle in my .htaccess files - the Linux systems have problems handling all the activities generated by checking each incoming address.

I guess this could also step on the toes of other plugins?
