    I have many websites with the full version of this plugin. Like others, I’m seeing the continuous hitting of the login page with names like “admin” (of course, I don’t use that). Wordfence is certainly doing it’s job. It blocks and life goes on. For a while, I was pushing the IPs from the temp block to the permanent block. A very manual way to handle it I guess. But I’m getting tired of doing that. I would like to use the Stealth Login Page plugin:

    It puts a PIN/code box on the login page and from my understanding if the user (bot) does not enter it correctly can be redirected to another url, off-site. I like it, but in thinking about it, wouldn’t that then encourage the bot IP to keeping hitting my website repeatedly? I mean, in the way it’s setup now, I have their IP, I block them, then I don’t have to worry about it. But if I never get the IP from the bad login, then they can just keep trying, right?

    Either way, this discussion is more for the Wordfence users than the Wordfence plugin authors. Regardless, my Wordfence is up, running and working. I’m not taking it down, just don’t want to impact it with another plugin. Thoughts?
