About IP Unblocker

IP Unblocker is a plugin that works in conjunction with cPanel and Directadmin servers running the software firewall CSF and LFD. LFD can block IP addresses of users that login repeatedly with the wrong credentials. This plugin provides a means for clients to unblock their own IP address should that happen to them.
