36 Failed Login attempts

  • Hi,

    In the last two days I’ve had 36 failed login attempts from the IP address 192.3.180.228 the IP address bounces back to colocrossing.com. Is there anything I can do about it such as block the IP or something similar?

    Thanks,
    Jack

    You can block that IP in .htaccess, but there will be another from somewhere else, or on occasion from so many different IPs it’s nearly impossible to list them all in .htaccess.

    A better approach is to use one of the plugins that limits login attempts. Once a threshold is reached, that IP cannot access the login page again for a predefined amount of time. I use Limit Login Attempts, it works fine. This is not to diminish any of the other similar plugins.
