## Beskrivning

There are many plugins that use a database to check for malicious IPs **after** 
they connect, and of course `fail2ban` stops _repeated_ attacks, but what if bad
IPs could be blocked **before** they attack?

By working collaboratively – sharing attack data – _WP fail2ban Blocklist_ does 
exactly that.

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 **preemptively**.

#### GDPR

The BNS doesn’t collect personal data, and bots don’t have rights.

That said, the BNS only collects the minimum data required (time, IP, event), and
only for IPs that have behaved maliciously.

Of course, it is possible that some data is generated by _people_ behaving maliciously,
but the BNS has no way to differentiate – and nor should it: an attack is an attack.

#### Freemius

To work, the BNS **must** know:

 * which sites are running the blocklist add-on,
 * which version is in use,
 * and a shared secret for secure communication.

Freemius already provides all these, and _WP fail2ban_ already uses Freemius; why
reinvent the wheel?

Therefore, unlike the core _WP fail2ban_ plugin, you _must_ opt into Freemius for
the blocklist to work.

## Installation

 1. Ensure [_WP fail2ban_](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fail2ban/) is installed.**
    N.B.** Requires version **4.4.0** or later.
 2. Install via the Plugin Directory, or upload to your plugins directory.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ’Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 4. Opt into Freemius; the Blocklist will not work without without this.
 5. The Blocklist Network Service (BNS) uses the WordPress REST API to communicate.
    If there is another security plugin installed be sure it allows access to the blocklist
    endpoint: `/wp-json/wp-fail2ban/v1/blocklist`
 6. **Important:** ensure you set `maxretry = 1` in your `wordpress‑hard` or `wpf2b‑
    blocklist‑hard` jail; the add-on will not work otherwise.

Details of the configuration steps can be found [here](https://docs.wp-fail2ban.com/projects/wp-fail2ban-blocklist/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=wp-fail2ban-addon-blocklist-2.2.2).
