Specify IP addresses, subnets or workstation names to exclude from Brute-Force Protection. Excluded IP addresses will not be checked for possible brute force activity. Note that attackers can spoof excluded addresses and names to bypass protection. Ensure the names are unique and unlikely to be guessed by attackers. Enter each address or subnet on a new line as a name-value pair: - Name column: Enter an IP address, subnet name, or workstation name. For example, "1.1.127.0" will exclude this IP address from getting blocked by BFP. - Value column: Enter "0" for each item
