Temporary IP blocks

What it does

Brute-force IPs blocked during an incident no longer stay blocked forever unless someone remembers to clean up. Every row in Settings → Threat Monitor → Recent events has a Block button; with Pro you choose a 1 hour / 24 hours / 7 days duration, and without it the block is permanent.

Managing temporary blocks

• The IP Access List gains an Expires column: Permanent, a date, or a greyed Expired row that no longer enforces anything.
• The manual add form can also create expiring entries (Pro). Permanent entries work exactly as before.
• Expired rows stay visible as audit history until deleted (entries expired over 90 days are swept on the next list change).
