I have the same question as above (404 error vs. directing to homepage). My site has been under a relentless attack today, with hits to my wp-login.php page about every minute for as long as I bothered to look back at the logs (many hours). My server resource load is going thru the roof & my hosting co. says that because this plugin redirects from wp-login to the homepage, it’s generating not one, but two hits to my site every time a bot makes another login attempt.
My hosting co. said that a 403 error vs homepage redirect should resolve this issue. Please let us know if this is possible now or in the near future.
I am getting hammered with wp-login.php requests. It would be great to redirect these requests using htaccess to a static page like 404.html
I just don’t understand htaccess enough so I thought I’d ask here first.
