We are sending requests for login and mfa failures to the old iprepd endpoint but no real protection is happening. So we should disable the feature, remove the code and look for an alternative solution for customized rate limiting.

One main feature of iprepd, we could send types of violations based on userid instead of ip address which allowed us to block the brute forcing of a specific account from multiple ip addresses.

Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Summary: Remove support for iprepd from the BMO code base as I understand it from Ops it is not being used since the move to GCP → Remove support for iprepd from the BMO code base as it is not being used since the move to GCP

Anywhere where I can, I will mimic what iprepd was giving us directly in the BMO code using the current rate limiting functionality.
