Repair: the auto block is off¶

Shown when SRM's auto block is switched off on a router.

The auto block stops an address after a number of failed logins within a few minutes. Without it, nothing stops anyone from trying one password after another, from your network or, if SRM is reachable from the internet, from anywhere.

What to do

Switch the auto block on in SRM, with a number of attempts and minutes that fits you. Home Assistant counts towards it too: with a wrong password it can block itself, see the device blocks Home Assistant.

The repair disappears at the next slow update (every 5 minutes by default) after the auto block is on.
