Static IP Address Code Not Blocking Log-in Attempts
-
Hi,
We’ve just had our Static IP Address installed and have added the following code to the “CUSTOM CODE BRUTE FORCE LOGIN PAGE PROTECTION:” section.
# Protect wp-login.php from Brute Force Login Attacks based on IP Address <FilesMatch "^(wp-login\.php)"> Order Allow,Deny # Add your website domain name Allow from www.appareltruth.org # Add your website/Server IP Address Allow from [OUR SERVER IP ADDRESS] # Add your Public IP Address using 2 or 3 octets so that if/when # your IP address changes it will still be in your subnet range. If you # have a static IP address then use all 4 octets. # Examples: 2 octets: 65.100. 3 octets: 65.100.50. 4 octets: 65.100.50.1 Allow from [OUR OFFICE IP ADDRESS] </FilesMatch>We then click “Create secure.htaccess File” and then “Activate Root Folder BulletProof Mode” and “Activate wp-admin Folder BulletProof Mode”
We have Wordfence installed, which keeps notifying us stating that people are being blocked by the attempt to log-in.
We’re unsure to why we are getting this error, as we thought that it was impossible for people to access the log-in page now due to our Static IP Address.
Would you be able to confirm that our log-in page is in fact secure, or whether we need to do anything to harden the installation.
Thanks,
Jamie
