IP Blocking
Monitor suspicious login attempts on your WordPress sites and block dangerous IP addresses.
Protect your site against brute force attacks with real-time monitoring.
IP Blocking
WordPress sites are constantly targeted by brute force attacks, especially through entry points like wp-login.php and xmlrpc.php. Attackers try to gain unauthorized access to your site by testing different username and password combinations. With Birtıkta's IP blocking feature, you can monitor all login attempts to your site in real time and instantly block suspicious IP addresses.
Login Attempt Monitoring
Birtıkta logs all login attempts to your WordPress sites in detail. For each attempt, you can see the IP address, username, date/time, and result (success/failure). This way, you can track exactly who is trying to access your site.
IP Blocking Features
-
Login Attempts List: All wp-login attempts to your site are listed with date, IP address, and username information. You can filter failed attempts to quickly identify suspicious activity.
-
One-Click IP Blocking: When you spot a suspicious IP address in the login attempts list, you can block it with a single click. The blocked IP address can no longer access your site.
-
Automatic IP Blocking: IP addresses that make a certain number of failed login attempts within a specified time period are automatically blocked. You can set the threshold values yourself.
-
IP Whitelist: You can add your own IP addresses or trusted IP addresses to the whitelist to prevent them from being accidentally blocked.
-
Country-Based Blocking: You can block all requests from specific countries to narrow the attack surface.
Why Is IP Blocking Important?
Brute force attacks don't just pose a security risk — they also consume your server resources, causing your site to slow down. Continuous failed login attempts put unnecessary load on your database and degrade your site's performance.
With Birtıkta, you can detect and block suspicious IP addresses early, protecting both your security and performance. You can monitor login attempts across all your WordPress sites from a single panel and perform bulk blocking operations.
