Good Security Help

Does a good job of limiting login tries. Helps reduce spam logins and brute force attempts. The setup was simple and is running fine. Could be a bit more flexible, but still useful 👍

Very very effective. You can even see where the IP address trying to hack you

This plugin is first effective in blocking (limiting) login attempts from hackers. Second, it even shows you the IP address with its location.
