    Hi @rasel-khondokar,

    It is normal for a site to start receiving some brute force attempts even if you haven’t shared its URL.

    What I can recommend is changing around the Brute Force Protection settings:

    1. Go to Wordfence -> All Options
    2. Scroll down until you see Brute Force Protection
    3. Change Lock out after how many login failures to a lower value (such as 3)
    4. Click Save Changes in the top right corner

    For example: https://i.imgur.com/RizWX2I.png

    This should now block that IP address if it starts failing the login too many times.

    Dave
