.htaccess wp-login timeframe

  • I want to close off my wp-admin and wp-login when it’s not day where i live. I can see that a lot of hack attempts is made when i’m not awake.

    I want to be able to login from other IP’s than my own range.

    How can i add the file clause on this:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond "%{TIME_HOUR}" ">=20" [OR]
RewriteCond "%{TIME_HOUR}" "<07"
RewriteRule "^/fridge"     "-" [F]

    I have tried just adding it like when restricting access to wp-admin and wp-login in general and only allowing specific IP’s or a host, but that doesn’t work. And i haven’t been able to find anywhere where this is combined; The timeframe and the login files.

    All the best
    Carsten

    If you have a good password and two factor authentication set up, you don’t have to worry about this

    Hello @sterndata

    I now the logic to that ??

    But i also think, Why not put the fence a little further out, so they never get close enough ??

    My thinking is also that it costs less on the server sorting them via .htaccess then letting them try to beat the door down.
