@Mark I hope you still see my previous questions in this thread, in spite of the 2 other remarks that followed... @PhilEsq I did not say thay I don't want to use Falcon. I am (and my customers are) a...

I would like to suggest that an option be made available to put IP/Advanced Blocking into htaccess even with Falcon off. This would would be a huge benefit for those who don't want the caching part of...

Hi Mark, Thanks for the quick response. I agree, but I got another e-mail today. We initially had both addresses, but I just triple-checked, and there's only one now. I'd be glad to give you access so...

@Mark Hope you can still find my questions about htaccess. @PhilEsq My questions about htaccess are what this thread is about, and you keep posting your own things, which is fine, but a separate thread...

And if I might add: Can the "old" way of blocking IPs remain as an option?

@PhillEsq, I'm afraid I can't confirm or deny the country blocking, as I haven't upgraded to the paid version. But the 'on by default' is not correct. I also read about the homepage only caching and...

@allm, Sorry, the title of the thread is "Falcon engine, why not a separate plugin?" so I thought I was in the right place.

@allm: Sorry about the delay on this. It's been a crazy week. (for all of us in the infosec space!!) I really need to know what changes are made to the .htaccess file. Are there only additions? And...

@asmaloney Sounds like we need to decouple these two based on yours and @allm's feedback in another thread. I've noted your suggestion and we'll see what we can do. Regards, Mark.

@Mark Thanks for your reply. I fully understand what must be going on at your end. I see that you only prepend to the .htaccess file, so that looks fine to me. I'll check it out on a test site and see...

I'd check your mail rules - perhaps you're forwarding? I can't provide hands-on support for free customers (let me know if you're paid). Regards, Mark.

Ouch. You're running a server that only allows 30 megs of memory. You're not going to be able to do much with that. Ask your hosting provider for an upgrade. Regards, Mark.

There's no forwarding - the alerts should just be going to an individual address. I just deleted that address, saved, and re-added it. I'll see if that helps. I am using the free version, and I...
