Hello. We have a small server and every weekend or holiday, we see a spike of server intrusion tries. They know that most, mainly small and medium-sized companies probably leave their servers unassisted during those days. By blocking China, we cut tentative intrusions by 60%. But, there are those from Netherlands, France, Germany and other. We want them blocked permanently. No more temporary blocks for us.
Please, is there a way to disable the temporary block and enabling permanent block for every offending IP?
Any advice is welcome :-)
