Works great, been using it for a long time to stop bots crawling sites. Also on hosts with open ports, like ssh that you cant whitelist.

Can this be a dynamic whitelist or is there an API to whitelist/de-whitelist specific IPs?

It's a dynamic blacklist. Any abusive IPs get banned for x minutes.

You can white list specific IPs though

This is what I mean, if this list can be dynamic or modified at runtime with an API.
