About WP fail2ban Blocklist

WP fail2ban Blocklist is a plugin that blocks malicious IPs before they can attack your site. It works by collecting attack data from participating sites and providing a list of IPs to block preemptively. The plugin uses Freemius for secure communication and requires opting into it for the blocklist to work.
