    however, did you enable the bad bot request as instructed at Blocking bad or aggressive bots | Centmin Mod Community ? If so, you could of blocked WordPress useragent that WordFence uses for those /?wordfence_syncAttackData calls as they all have 444 status which would be apart of the blocking bad aggressive bots setup outlined here.

    yes i did place botlimit.conf in nginx.conf and blockbots.conf in vhost domain.conf , i did get more unknown ip in vhost access.log , cross check them with abuseipdb.com for suspicious visitor , then type csf -d ip block them , its painfull and no automatic way to cross check and block those suspicious visitor

    125.161.63.43 suspicious visitor first using his or her own ip to testing attack my domain

    66.249.65.177
    then using google ip to attact my domain

    how is this possible ?
