What is max_connect_errors parameter ?

This parameter indicates how many connection errors are possible before the server blocks a host. If more than max_connect_errors successive connection requests from a host are interrupted without a successful connection, the server blocks that host from further connections. The default value is 100 and can be tuned to your security requirements and environment.

For example, if max_connect_errors=5000, after 5,000 connection requests from Host X are interrupted you get an error like the following:

Host X is blocked because of many connection errors ()

You can simply Unblock the host using the following command:

mysql> flush hosts;
mysql> show global variables like 'max_connect_errors';

+| Variable_name      | Value |
+--------------------+-------+
| max_connect_errors | 5000|
+--------------------+-------+
