Top Attacking IP Addresses Against WordPress Sites

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellkrogza/Top-Attacking-IP-Addresses-Against-Wordpress-Sites/master/wordpress-attacking-ips.txt

Address list per script

Fetch the list and import it into an address list called blocklist:

/tool fetch url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellkrogza/Top-Attacking-IP-Addresses-Against-Wordpress-Sites/master/wordpress-attacking-ips.txt" dst-path=blocklist.rsc
/import blocklist.rsc

If the list is a plain text file with one address or CIDR per line, convert it first:

/tool fetch url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellkrogza/Top-Attacking-IP-Addresses-Against-Wordpress-Sites/master/wordpress-attacking-ips.txt" dst-path=blocklist.txt
:foreach line in=[/file get blocklist.txt contents] do={
  /ip firewall address-list add list=blocklist address=$line comment="Top Attacking IP Addresses Against WordPress Sites"
}

Use the list in the firewall

/ip firewall filter add chain=forward src-address-list=blocklist action=drop comment="Top Attacking IP Addresses Against WordPress Sites"
/ip firewall filter add chain=forward dst-address-list=blocklist action=drop comment="Top Attacking IP Addresses Against WordPress Sites"

Schedule the fetch with /system scheduler to keep the list current. Very large lists consume RAM, so check the available memory of your device first.
