After upgrading to our premium version, you will see a **new dashboard** that displays
new items not available to free users. Most importantly, you’ll notice the **login
firewall** tab and a new chart in the dashboard. Since IP validation is relayed 
through the cloud app, you’ll notice a new version of the daily failed login attempts
chart. The chart will display both **failed login attempts** and **requests**.

## Failed Login Attempts Chart

The updated chart on your dashboard provides insights into the cloud app’s efficiency
in identifying and thwarting [brute force attacks](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/blogs/cyber-security/cracking-the-code-unveiling-the-mechanics-behind-brute-force-attacks/).
Prior to attempting a login, an IP address must undergo validation by the cloud 
app, referred to as a “request.” If the IP address is not rejected based on existing
rules or patterns, any failed login attempt will be logged as an unsuccessful entry.

If your website is not recording any requests, then the cloud app might be installed
incorrectly. You can reach out to [customer support](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/contact-us/)
to verify that there isn’t any plugin conflicts or issues.

## Login Firewall

When the premium version is activated, you’ll notice the “logs” tab from the free
version is now called the “Login Firewall”. The login firewall will not only display
advanced logs, but you’ll be able to [block logins by country](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/blogs/guides/block-logins-by-country-in-wordpress/)
and enter [access rules](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/blogs/guides/access-rules-explained/)
for enhanced protection.

## Can I Remove Failed Login Attempts Completely?

Even with the premium upgrade, it’s **not possible** to entirely eliminate failed
login attempts. Since IPs are dynamic, new and undiscovered IPs will continuously
attempt logins. The recommended solution is to restrict login attempts and implement
throttling measures, forcing attackers to exhaust their resources and halt their
assault. We’ve created an article to [reduce failed login attempts](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/blogs/guides/failed-login-attempts-in-wordpress/)
further using our premium features.
