Security log and auto ban of bot IP’s

For auto ban to work, you need to have log events enabled for the reCAPTCHA integrations you activated. If you enable ban of IP, it will happen once the reCAPTCHA fails more than number of time specified in a period of time. Also, if you want, you can enable notification and receive email when IP is banned for this reason.

Use in multisite network environment

In multisite network environment you can set addon to work for the whole network, and only from Network admin panel you can set it and add reCAPTCHA keys and set everything else. Or you can allow individual sites to set it on it’s own.

If you control the whole network, you must have reCAPTCHA keys generated properly to cover all sites URL’s in the network, since the keys are URL dependent.
