 * First ,thank you for your excellent plugin and all the work you put in to it.
   My Question: My host has WordPress brute force protection on the server which
   makes BPS brute force protection redundant. Would it therefore be ok to drop 
   the database tables
 * `bpspro_login_security`
    `bpspro_seclog_ignore`
 * and still use BPS security? If not, could I just delete BPS and keep the .htaccess
   it generates and re-install and again delete just in order to update? Does the
   functionality of BPS add anything else than the actual .htaccess files and the
   security log?

 * It would be much simpler for you just to turn things off in BPS that you do not
   want to use. All BPS features have On/Off capability/options. If something is
   turned Off then it will not be in use so deleting an empty database table that
   is not in use would not really have any benefit.
 * For a list of the things that BPS does see the Description page
