I've been experiencing a lot of attacks, mainly brute-force password attacks, at my WordPress site and I was looking for a solution to this problem. I have installed the plugins such as Sucuri and Wordfence that provide some protection but the problem of blocking those bad IPs remained. Sites like blocklist.de provide lists of such blacklisted IPs but how to import those lists in WordPress and use them to block those IPs? I found an easy solution through an excellent free plugin called CIDRAM: https://github.com/CIDRAM/CIDRAM/blob/master/_docs/readme.en.md My solution to protect WordPress so far is to use Sucuri and CIDRAM. Those two work well so far and don't overload the server CPU. Eventually I would like to move away from WordPress since it's very problematic... -
I created an addon domain k12swap.com for proxse, but I hosted it in a separate directory outside of my public_html folder, as I do not wish for people on my main site to be able to see my addon domain. (Or is it htaccess'ed so it's only visible from addon?) I set up the ftp username and password, but strangely the cPanel wants me to log in from my main domain, not k12swap.com. And when I tried to log in from k12swap, it 503'ed me out and eventually locked me out of cPanel for brute-forcing.
