[Answered] IP blocked due to header

[ndlliem]

Hi,

My web pages issued PHP header(HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized) to force users for a new basic authentication when clicked on a logout button. After browsing the pages a few time, my IP was blocked. Please advise how I can avoid being blocked again.

 

Thanks

Unblocked. The only way to avoid this is to not use basic auth here. Our system is very sensitive to this sort of thing and will block any user who logs in incorrectly after a few attempts (we've had run-ins with brute-force bots trying to break into user websites as well as non-public stuff before).
