Hello. Please help.
I have csf disable - fail2baqn disable - firewalld disable - linux firewall - disable linux ipv6 firewall disable.
Why when I enter the wrong password 5 times in Usermin does it block me? What is blocking it and how can I make it not block?

| Virtualmin version | 7.30.7 |
It has nothing to do with CSF. That’s Usermin’s brute force protection.
You’re blocked because you entered the wrong password. So, you can make it not block by giving it a valid user/password when logging in.
It will clear on its own after a short time, or I believe you can clear it in Webmin->Webmin->Usermin Configuration->Blocked Hosts and Users
systemctl restart usermin
Right for what?
If you want it to let you enter the wrong password more than 5 times, you can change it. I wouldn’t recommend disabling brute-force protection entirely, though.
