Early on and continuous

I have used this plug-in since its release a few years ago (Bit 51). It is excellent and appreciated it.
As a user, do read the dicta concerning implementation and operation.
When this plugin locks one out, it really locks one out–whether a transgressor or your personal erroneous 404 hits. So whitelist your IP address.
Can’t fault a plugin that delivers on what it promises!!
Keep coding, Chris!
