How do I know if I`m under attack?

There will be many indicators that will tell you if you’re under a more serious 
brute-force attack. 1) The log of lockouts grows fast 2) You get a lot of lockout
notifications (if they are turned on which is recommended) 3) You site operates 
slower for unknown reason 4) You get a notice from your hosting provider.

How can I tell that the premium plugin is working?

After you complete your purchase of the premium cloud app, you are provided an email
with instructions to complete the setup. If you have followed the instructions and
the cloud app does not activate, please make sure the plugin is updated to the latest
version before attempting again. If you still have issues, please email us at sales@3.88.176.82
for implementation assistance. There are rare situations where your WordPress site
settings may be blocking how the plugin functions, and this will require our techs
to resolve.

What do I do if the admin gets denied?

Open the site from another IP. You can do this from your cell phone, or use Opera
browser and enabling free VPN there. You can also try turning off your router for
a few minutes and then see if you get a different IP address. These will work if
your hosting server is configured correctly. If that doesn’t work, connect to the
site using FTP or  your hosting control panel file manager. Navigate to wp-content/
plugins/ and rename the limit-login-attempts-reloaded folder. Log in to the site
then rename that folder back and whitelist your IP. By upgrading to our [premium app](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/help-center/technical-questions/),
you will have the unlocking functionality right from the cloud so you’ll never have
to deal with this issue.

Why am I still seeing login attempts even after the IP got denied?

Please read this [article for a detailed answer](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/why-am-i-still-seeing-login-attempts-even-after-the-ip-got-blocked/).

Could these failed login attempts be fake?

We understand it might seem that login attempts are fake because there are so many
of them. We recommend reading [this article for more details](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/could-these-failed-login-attempts-be-fake/).

What happens if my site exceeds the request limits in the plan?

The premium plan’s limits are so high that it should accept almost any heavy brute-
force attack. We constantly monitor if your site is in good shape and if we notice
any potential problems we will temporarily increase the limits in case of fair usage.
If you are using the free version, the load caused by brute force attacks will be
absorbed by your current hosting bandwidth, which could cause your hosting costs
to increase.

What do I do if all users get denied?

If you are using contemporary hosting, it’s likely your site uses a proxy domain
service like CloudFlare, Sucuri, Nginx, etc. They replace your user’s IP address
with their own. If the server where your site runs is not configured properly (this
happens a lot) all users will get the same IP address. This also applies to bots
and hackers. Therefore, locking one user will lead to locking everybody else out.
In the free version of the plugin this can be adjusted using the Trusted IP Origin
setting. In the premium version, the cloud service intelligently recognizes the 
non-standard IP origins and handles them correctly, even if your hosting provider
does not.

I just installed LLAR and I`m already getting several failed login attempts

This is normal for many users. This means that there has been existing bot behavior
on your account.

What URLs are being attacked and protected?

The URLs being protected are your login page (wp-login.php, wp-admin), xmlrpc.php,
WooCommerce login page, and any custom login page you have that uses regular WordPress
login hooks.
