Login Guard<\/strong> is a powerful, privacy-first login security plugin that runs entirely on your own server \u2014 no cloud service, no external API calls, no telemetry.<\/p>\n\n

Core Features<\/h4>\n\n

Brute-Force Protection<\/strong>\nAutomatically detects repeated failed login attempts from the same IP address. When a configurable threshold is reached, the IP is locked out and can be automatically added to the block list.<\/p>\n\n

Live Login Activity Log<\/strong>\nEvery login attempt \u2014 successful, failed, or blocked \u2014 is recorded with IP address, username, user agent, and timestamp. Full filter, paginate, and export to CSV.<\/p>\n\n

IP Block List<\/strong>\nManually block specific IP addresses, with permanent or time-limited expiry. Auto-blocked IPs are automatically pruned when their lockout period ends.<\/p>\n\n

IP Allow List<\/strong>\nProtect your own IP or your developer's IP from ever being blocked \u2014 even during testing.<\/p>\n\n

Instant Email Alerts<\/strong>\nGet 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.<\/p>\n\n

Dashboard Overview<\/strong>\nAt-a-glance stats with a 7-day bar chart (no external chart libraries), auto-refreshed every 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n

WP Admin Dashboard Widget<\/strong>\nQuick stats and last 5 login attempts visible from the main WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n\n

Privacy<\/h4>\n\n

Login Guard stores IP addresses and usernames in your own database. No data leaves your server.<\/p>\n\n

Free, Forever<\/h4>\n\n

No upsells, no premium tier, no usage limits. Login Guard is completely free.<\/p>\n\n

    \n

    Will this lock me out of my own site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Add your own IP to the Allow List from IP Manager \u2192 Allowed<\/strong> to guarantee you are never blocked.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does it work with Cloudflare or load balancers?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. Login Guard checks HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP<\/code>, HTTP_X_REAL_IP<\/code>, and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR<\/code> before falling back to REMOTE_ADDR<\/code>, so Cloudflare and most reverse-proxy setups work correctly.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I unblock an IP?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Go to Login Guard \u2192 IP Manager \u2192 Blocked<\/strong> and click Unblock<\/strong> next to the IP address.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does this slow down my login page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. The lockout check is a single indexed database query \u2014 typically under 1 ms.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I export the log?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. Click Export CSV<\/strong> on the Activity Log page to download the full log with applied filters.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does it send data to any external service?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. Every feature runs entirely on your server with zero external requests.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
