Hi guys
I m using S2member Pro
i ve set up : Allow 5 failed attempts (then punish for 30 min) for all my users however i would like to allow 1 IP address to have as many failed attempts as possible
how could i do that?
to make it cleared, i want all IPs except 1 to be punished after 5 failed attemps
thx so much
You’d need to have custom code or use a different plugin to enforce brute force login restrictions (iThemes Security allows a whitelist).
i already use Ithemes security
Did you check Krum’s plugins? I think that this one might be what you are looking for.
If it is only close to what you want, you can ask him for a tweak.
thx , i will contact Krum
If you are already using iThemes Security you should whitelist the IP there and turn off IP restrictions in s2Member. You should never have 2 plugins doing the same thing at the same time.
How do you turn off IP restriction in s2member? Just by clicking: Allow infinite IPs (All IP restriction r disabled) ?
I guess it s the right answer but always best to ask 
thx a lot Jedi
The only stupid question is the one you don’t ask. Yes, just select Allow infinite IPs.
thx mate, you are the man
unfortunately, seems like S2 overrode Itheme
I disabled s2 Brute Force IP and restricted Itheme to 5 logins but noting is happening when i make 7 false log in 
Well, that’s not good. Let me do some research/troubleshooting. Might be a day or two.
all good now
thx again for your help
