PLUGIN INFORMATION
What the plugin does
Plugin capabilities
- Collaborative preemptive IP blocklisting via a Blocklist Network Service (BNS) that collects attack data from participating sites and periodically returns lists of IPs to block before they attack a given site.
- BNS communication uses the WordPress REST API endpoint `/wp-json/wp-fail2ban/v1/blocklist` (and the plugin notes that other security plugins must allow access to this endpoint).
- Requires opt-in to Freemius for the blocklist to work, because BNS must know which sites are running the add-on, the add-on version, and a shared secret for secure communication.
- Blocklist data handling is described as collecting only minimum data (time, IP, event) and only for IPs that have behaved maliciously; it also states BNS does not collect personal data.
- Compatibility dependency on the core WP fail2ban plugin: the add-on requires WP fail2ban to be installed (and the readme notes a minimum WP fail2ban version requirement).
- Operational dependency on fail2ban jail configuration: the readme instructs setting `maxretry = 1` in the `wordpress-hard` or `wpf2b-blocklist-hard` jail for the add-on to work.
TRANSLATION BOUNDARY
WP fail2ban Blocklist capabilities and translatable content are documented separately.
Official documentation describes the plugin functionality, but does not currently identify specific text shown to visitors that can be translated.
A feature is not considered translatable unless it includes text that users can read.
