Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/brutefort` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugin screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress 3. Go to **Settings > BruteFort** to configure IP restrictions, whitelist/blacklist, and login attempt limits. 4. Navigate to **Custom Login URL** tab to set up a custom login slug and hide wp- login.php 5. Use **Geo Blocking** tab to block or allow countries from accessing your login page ## FAQ ### Does this plugin slow down my site? No. BruteFort is lightweight and optimized for performance, with minimal impact on page load times. ### How does the custom login URL feature work? BruteFort creates a custom slug (e.g., /secure-login) for your login page and automatically blocks access to /wp-login.php, returning a 404 error to unauthorized users. ### What is Geo Blocking and how does it work? Geo Blocking restricts login attempts based on the visitor’s country. You can either blacklist specific countries (block mode) or whitelist only allowed countries (allow mode). It uses IP geolocation to detect the user’s location. ### Can I whitelist my own IP address? Yes! Add your IP to the whitelist to ensure you’re never locked out, even if other restrictions are active. ### What happens if I forget my custom login URL? You can disable the custom login URL feature via FTP by deactivating the plugin, or by accessing your database to change the setting. ### Does Geo Blocking work with VPNs or proxy servers? Yes, BruteFort is compatible with Cloudflare and most proxy servers. It checks the CF-IPCountry header first, then falls back to IP-based geolocation. ### Is this compatible with other security plugins? Yes. BruteFort works alongside most WordPress security plugins like Wordfence, iThemes Security, and All In One WP Security. ### Can I block entire countries from logging in? Yes! The Geo Blocking feature lets you select specific countries to block or allow for login attempts. ## Avis ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/49b1b1e18ddea143ad216992c5ec03b68c3dac19da970002b051cee008c14c29? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does Exactly What It Should — No Bloat](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-exactly-what-it-should-no-bloat/)󠁿 [Purshottam Nepal](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sadishnepal/) 13 décembre 2025 Thanks to this plugin, my clients are happier than ever.This plugin does exactly what it promises and does it exceptionally well.

It works perfectly and adds a nice extra layer of security. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b741b3a3f80db069d091bd5e7ad83852475ec9f428ca3b583c2c8d5be7ff8203? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[My server is thanking you](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-server-is-thanking-you/)󠁿 [lazyowner458](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lazyowner458/) 13 novembre 2025 1 réponse My server went down four times over the past month, with constant bot attacks trying to login into my admin dashboard. I tried Wordfence but it was a really confusing and also didn’t want to pay $149 for the feature I wanted. Brutefort was simple and did the job. Thanks! However you can add some features like geo-blocking / geo- throttling.
