About this plugin
Anti-Brute Force, Login Fraud Detector WordPress plugin is a security plugin that detects and blocks malicious IP addresses attempting to log into WordPress sites with real-time intelligence data from Criminal IP.
Hackers attempting brute-force attacks on WordPress sites do not use normal IP addresses. Rather, they use VPN, Proxy, Tor, Hosting IP, etc. to avoid tracking.
Criminal IP is an IP address-based intelligence search engine platform that scans worldwide IP addresses daily and collects such malicious information.
The number of detectable login attempts varies depending on the plan being used by the connected Criminal IP account. Users of the Free membership plan can use up to 500 login IP detections per month for free.
Block Login IP Address Options
VPN IP – When attempting to log in using a VPN
Tor IP – When attempting to log in from a Tor browser
Proxy IP – When attempting to log in using Proxy
Hosting IP – When attempting to log in from the IP address of a hosting server
Additional Features
Whitelist: Specific IP addresses can be added to the whitelist to allow login.
Login Wait Time: Users who are eventually restricted from logging in can try again after the set login wait time.
