    Brian,
    Hi…I’m really appreciating this Plugin.
    Taking some time to learn it properly first.
    It has already thwarted some typical brute force login attacks and a few directory scan attacks etc.

    QUESTION or feature request…
    You know the option: “Immediately block IP’s that access these URLs”?
    My tests show, that this BLOCKS the offending IP… domain/site wide whereas the “Login Security Options” does not block it domain/site wide.

    Could we have an option to make the “Login Security Options” block an IP domain/site wide as well?

    Thx
    Anthony

    Sure, I can pass it on to the dev team. One of the reasons for the difference is that if a legitimate user gets locked out from logging in by mistake, they can still get to the rest of the site, to find the site owner’s contact information or a contact form. (Of course, this could be different if you and maybe a few other people are the only valid users on your site.)

    I can’t promise that every suggestion we get will make it into a release, or when it might be if it does, but every suggestion we get is evaluated carefully and considered seriously. We value the input we get from our customers. Thanks!

    A very fair answer and much appreciated.
    I would suggest that if it is seriously considered, that it should be made available as a non default user option.
    Thanks for your Time and courtesy Matt.
