Tech Friday: Wordfence IP server attack tracking
Posted By RichC on July 25, 2025
Since today’s post was a little weak for Tech Friday, I’ve decided to add a second post updating my battle against DOS attacks on my server. Half the battle is fending off BOTs that originate overseas and I’ll give you one guess as to the country hammering my server the most?
Since the WordPress plugin Wordfence does a pretty good job tracking and isolating the originating IP addresses, I do have a pretty good idea. Next step is trying to figure out the best way to limit the resources drain on since even 
having PHP handling such requests is taxing a lightweight Linux server. Time to do some additional reading in not letting a request even request anything.
