They have been banned from your site. I'd say Sentinel has done its job and you can go in using your site normally.

Thank you for posting that information!!!

Guess who I had today? The exact same guy! Smile

He has tried hitting my site twice now (or at least since I have gotten sentinel). His ip changed since last time. I might suggest doing 81.213.*.* instead of 81.213.198.55. (That is the correct way to block him, right?)

Sure you could. Do you have the .htaccess write-to by Sentinel enabled?

Yes, I do. I have even tested it (by accident). Very Happy

Well, you could always ban him manually in Sentinel or type it into .htaccess:
deny from 81.213

Chances are that IP is not allocated to the same user now. If you have set the various blockers in your NS Configuration panel then anyone who attempts that attack will be automatically blocked.
