Feature suggestion: Automatic lockdown when accessing wp-admin/wp-login.php

Hi, thank you for reaching out to us.

I have enabled your Login Lockdown Feature as well as the Rename Login Page Feature and I would like to suggest, that in addition to those, your plugin should also offer the ability the lockdown / block IP-addresses that are trying to access wp-admin/wp-login.php. What do you say?

When you enable the Rename Login Page feature it blocks the following URLs yoursite.com/wp-admin and yoursite.com/wp-login from accessing your site. This means that anyone trying to access your site via the aforementioned entries will see a blank page with a message displayed regardless of IP address. Then you can use the Blacklist Manager to add the IP address that tried to access your site and block it.

Does the above help you in any way?

Kind regards

Thanks for getting back so quickly!

I assume you are referring to the “Firewall –> 404 Detection” Feature, right? But I still would have to manually click the “Temp Block” or “Blacklist IP” link for the applicable IP entry in the “404 Event Logs” table, am I correct? So no way to automatically temp block / blacklist an IP, if it tries to access yoursite.com/wp-admin or yoursite.com/wp-login?

Cheers
Thomas
