Trying to blacklist ip addresses in the Blacklist Manager but I find that any ip addresses I enter are not blocked – they still appear in the logs. As a test I decided to enter an ip address that I use in the Blacklist Manager. Attempting to access my site from this ip address confirmed that the ip addresses listed in the Blacklist Manager are not blocked.
Looking at the .htaccess file I see that there are two <RequireAll> directives, one for the blacklisted ip addresses and lower down the .htaccess file another for bad bots which appears to be part of the 6G Firewall Rules (under # 6G:[USER AGENTS]). This second <RequireAll> directive overrides the first one and prevents the blacklist ip functionality from working.
Workaround is to use 5G Rules instead of 6G Rules. Please can this be fixed so that 6G Rules can be used in conjunction with blacklisting of ip addresses.
