I followed this guide ( http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=380 ) including the optional step to automatically block brute force attacks. But now after a few days of checking I do not notice any automatic IP blocking. What might be going on?
I've already tried restarting directadmin, redownloading the files (+ resetting rights). Am I missing something?
Have you enabled brute force login detection system on your server ?
To enable this feature, go to:
Admin Level -> Admin Settings -> Blacklist IPs for excessive login attempts
