Upon successful login with a valid username and password temporarily whitelist an IP

Idea shared by Daniel Jörg - 7/29/2024 at 12:41 AM

Under Consideration

I often have the problem that my current IP gets locked by IDS blocks when I'm traveling. Sometimes it works - but suddenly it gets blocked. I would suggest to add a temporarily whitelist for an IP address (for a user defined time) upon successful login with a valid username and password.

This also fixes the problem with new installation in a company network when a new user several times uses wrong credentials during setup of a new devices - in this case the network with all the correct users will not get blocked just because of one user behaving strange.

Thanks

Daniel

This could be a very good feature!
