Best way to test lockout page for wordfence

Hey @jasonsharp,

When I test lockouts I use a VPN (to spoof the IP) and an incognito/private browsing page. Proceed to lock yourself out by breaking your Brute Force Protection rules, then you should be able to see the lockout page as a legitimate locked out user would.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Gerroald

@wfgerald It would be very useful to have a “test mode” for this, and an easier way to change the text shown to the visitor:-)
IMHO when using a VPN you risk to lock out other people sharing the same outgoing VPN server.

Hey @jasonsharp,

Thanks for the feedback!

If using a VPN for testing is a concern you might set up a cloned staging site to test things like these.

If anything else comes up, please let us know.

Thanks,
