    I suggest that banning anyone who gets a 404 is overly broad, and you will be locking out people that just make mistakes, or that came to you from a site that made a mistake in linking. Also, banning those IPs is going to be a losing battle that isn't really going to make you any sfer. Commented Sep 15, 2018 at 17:10
