has not stopped this bruteforce attack

Hello,
It’s normal behavior for you to still see the attack occurring and it’s possible for something like a DDoS to happen while using the plugin. BruteProtect’s function is to prevent a bot from figuring out your password, but it can’t doesn’t prevent it from knocking on the door.

Hope this helps!

Ok. But it sure has stopped them before. I use a plugin that logs the attacks and stops them too. Before, when I activated bruteprotect, the attacks were shunted into the server network and they stopped.

From the BruteProtect detail page
BruteProtect logs every failed attempt community-wide

When an IP has too many failed attempts in a specific period of time, BruteProtect logs and blocks that IP across the entire BruteProtect network (your site included). The more users of BruteProtect, the safer we all are from traditional brute force attacks, and distributed brute force attacks that use many different servers and IP addresses.

Would you mind sharing your logs with us?

You can share them privately via:

Please reference this thread in your question.

Also, you should consider switching to Jetpack. It has now contains a more up-to-date version of BruteProtect ( the Protect module ).

thanks!
