    Hello Mihai,

    today I was attacked 180 times by one and the same IP – i saw this since I’m still in test mode..

    My questions:
    1. Should this IP not have been blocked automatically e.g after 5 attempts?
    2. Is there a possibility to restrict the number of Login attempts somewhere?

    Here the mail I received 180 times from 00.07 -15.41:

    WPBruiser – Notification:
    Submitted Form: WordPress/Login
    Test Status: Rejected
    Reject Reason: Token Not Submitted
    Client Ip Address: 91.210.146.63
    Client User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.57 Safari/537.36

    Thank you!

    Greetings from Vienna,

    Hi stevek28,
    While in Test Mode the plugin is not automatically block IP addresses.
    At this time there is no possibility to restrict the number of login attempts. WPBruiser automatically detects bruteforce attacks and if you selected the option to block the IP, it will take care of that.

    Cheers,
    Mihai
