Hi
The IP Address provided was being blocked by our firewall.
This type of blocking occurs when multiple requests to wp-login.php which is the wp-admin login page, are called by a single IP without a successful login being made. Once a successful login is made, the IP is whitelisted for a longer period of time against this blocking.
We monitor requests like this across our platform so if multiple wp-login page loads are made to either a single site, or multiple sites on any one of our servers, if a successful login hasn’t been made recently, the IP will become blocked. These requests do not actually have to be login attempts, simply loading the wp-admin (ie wp-login.php) page without having logged in, multiple times is enough to trigger the block).
Due to the extended nature of this type of blocking, it may have been on either this server or another of our servers, and won’t necessarily have been because of any requests made today.
I have checked for any further blocks at this time and the IP has been removed from the block list and whitelisted against further blocking of this type.
Please let us know if we can clarify further.
