Bruteprotect causing server overload?

  • Hello,

    we have over 100+ websites installed on one same server. We recently (couple of weeks ago) added Bruteprotect to all of them and now every 5 or 6 days, the server gets overloaded and crashes…

    Is it the simultaneous scans running on all those websites that cause the server to overload? Or is it a simultaneous burst of attacks and the way Bruteprotect reacts to it?
    Also, what is the effect of auto-updating plugins if all of a sudden Bruteprotect tries to update the same plugin on 100+ wordpress sites that run on the same server?

    Therefor, what are the ideal recommended settings to minimize risk of server overload in such an environment?

    Your advise would be very welcome. I need to convince my hosting company that Bruteprotect is not the culprit so both your help with the ideal settings and arguments i can use to defend Bruteprotect towards hosting company are very welcome.

    Much appreciated
