Hello!
Today for the first time I had to use Wordfence to defend myself – after more than 3 years BPS Pro was not enough – I mean BPS Pro did the trick, there was no breach, the site was safe as usual, but the amount of traffic was getting to big and I had to use some sort of a tool to cut of bots trying to log in as the server was starting to “feel it”. I have received frequent logs on my email which meant that 500kb of log is full and a quick look showed that it was only a brute force on the login page.
Wordfence has a nice feature that it blocks a IP/user who posts wrong user name in the login field which did the trick. The bad IP’s are blocked for 10 days (I could set it up for even longer/less) and now the site is in it’s normal condition.
Maybe we could have something similar to the Wordfence solution? The tools in BPS Pro work OK but at some point without cutting off the traffic there is no chance in surviving.
