<p>There are many plugins that use a database to check for malicious IPs <strong>after</strong> they connect, and of course <code>fail2ban</code> stops <em>repeated</em> attacks, but what if bad IPs could be blocked <strong>before</strong> they attack?</p>
<p>By working collaboratively – sharing attack data – <em>WP fail2ban Blocklist</em> does exactly that.</p>
<p>The Blocklist Network Service (BNS) collects attack data from participating sites, performs some analytical magic, and sends back a list of IPs that are attacking sites now but haven’t yet attacked that site. In other words, each site periodically gets a unique list of IPs to block <strong>preemptively</strong>.</p>
<h4>GDPR</h4>
<p>The BNS doesn’t collect personal data, and bots don’t have rights.</p>
<p>That said, the BNS only collects the minimum data required (time, IP, event), and only for IPs that have behaved maliciously.</p>
<p>Of course, it is possible that some data is generated by <em>people</em> behaving maliciously, but the BNS has no way to differentiate – and nor should it: an attack is an attack.</p>
<h4>Freemius</h4>
<p>To work, the BNS <strong>must</strong> know:</p>
<ul>
<li>which sites are running the blocklist add-on,</li>
<li>which version is in use,</li>
<li>and a shared secret for secure communication.</li>
</ul>
<p>Freemius already provides all these, and <em>WP fail2ban</em> already uses Freemius; why reinvent the wheel?</p>
<p>Therefore, unlike the core <em>WP fail2ban</em> plugin, you <em>must</em> opt into Freemius for the blocklist to work.</p>
