Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Protect Login
We're Thomas and Simon, two WordPress enthusiasts, with the dearing crazy idea to offer a good plugin without asking for your money or attention. Our initial work on Protect Login was sponsored by group.one.
We care about WordPress and keeping WordPress sites secure. So we decided it was time to take the code of the original Limit Login Attempts plugin and build on top of it.
This is very much by design. Otherwise, you could simply brute force the "admin" password by logging in as your own user every 4th attempt.
If you're not sure about this, chances are your site is not behind a reverse proxy. However, Protect Login's settings offer an option to activate proxy mode. A reverse proxy is a server between the site and the Internet (perhaps handling caching or load-balancing). This makes getting the correct client IP to block slightly more complicated.
Yes, there is an allowlist tab in Protect Login's settings.
Either wait until your account/IP is unblocked, or if you have FTP or SSH access to the site, rename it "wp-content/plugins/protect-login" to deactivate the plugin.
Yes, if the webserver passes an IPv6 address to your WordPress installation, the plugin has no problems to handle IPv6 from 1.2.0.
