When a configurable threshold is reached, the IP is locked out and can be automatically added to the block list. **Live Login Activity Log** Every login attempt — successful, failed, or blocked— is recorded with IP address, username, user agent, and timestamp. Full filter, paginate, and export to CSV. **IP Block List** Manually block specific IP addresses, with permanent or time- limited expiry. Auto-blocked IPs are automatically pruned when their lockout period ends. **IP Allow List** Protect your own IP or your developer’s IP from ever being blocked— even during testing. **Instant Email Alerts** Get notified when a suspicious number of failed attempts is detected from a single IP, or when a successful login occurs from a new location for any user. **Dashboard Overview** At-a-glance stats with a 7-day bar chart (no external chart libraries), auto-refreshed every 30 seconds. **WP Admin Dashboard Widget** Quick stats and last 5 login attempts visible from the main WordPress dashboard. #### Privacy Login Guard stores IP addresses and usernames in your own database. No data leaves your server. #### Free, Forever No upsells, no premium tier, no usage limits. Login Guard is completely free. ❤️ _Dedicated in loving memory of Maa — 18 May._ ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard — stat cards + 7-day bar chart + recent attempts⌉⌊Dashboard — stat cards + 7-day bar chart + recent attempts⌉[ Dashboard — stat cards + 7-day bar chart + recent attempts [⌊Activity Log — full log with filters, inline Block IP button, CSV export⌉⌊Activity Log — full log with filters, inline Block IP button, CSV export⌉[ Activity Log — full log with filters, inline Block IP button, CSV export [⌊IP Manager — blocked and allowed lists with add/remove controls⌉⌊IP Manager — blocked and allowed lists with add/remove controls⌉[ IP Manager — blocked and allowed lists with add/remove controls [⌊Settings — thresholds, alerts, log retention⌉⌊Settings — thresholds, alerts, log retention⌉[ Settings — thresholds, alerts, log retention ## Installation 1.

Done — your site is now protected ## FAQ ### Will this lock me out of my own site? Add your own IP to the Allow List from **IP Manager Allowed** to guarantee you are never blocked. ### Does it work with Cloudflare or load balancers? Yes. Login Guard checks `HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP`, `HTTP_X_REAL_IP`, and `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR` before falling back to `REMOTE_ADDR`, so Cloudflare and most reverse-proxy setups work correctly. ### How do I unblock an IP? Go to **Login Guard IP Manager Blocked** and click **Unblock** next to the IP address. ### Does this slow down my login page? No. The lockout check is a single indexed database query — typically under 1 ms. ### Can I export the log? Yes. Click **Export CSV** on the Activity Log page to download the full log with applied filters. ### Does it send data to any external service? No. Every feature runs entirely on your server with zero external requests. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “NaveenCodes Login Guard” is open source software.
