Setup guide for Joomla Web Security plugin

  Login Security

• Brute Force Login / Attacks Protection – We keep track of user’s login attempts and we notify administrators and users for unusual activities if someone exceeds allowed failed login attempts. Limit the number of allowed login attempts and protect the user accounts from attack.


• You can also display remaining attempts on Login Page. It will provide an option to inform users about their remaining attempts on the login page.


• Protects from brute force attacks and password guessing on the login page.

  Rename or change login page URL

• Rename the default Joomla admin login URL (slug) to something different from the original base_url/administrator to prevent automated brute force attacks. To use this feature Enable Custom login page URL checkbox and enter the access key in the text field.

  Registration Security

• Block Fake Users - We help you to detect suspicious email addresses instantly. Most of the users use disposable, fake or temporary email addresses for registering on online websites. We can help you stop accepting registrations from those emails.
• Advanced User Verification - OTP Verification plugin verifies the Email Address/Mobile Number of users by sending verification code (OTP) during registration. It removes the possibility of a user registering with a fake Email Address/Mobile Number.

  IP Blocking

• Manual and automatic blocking of IP address (Blacklisting and whitelisting included). This will help to protect your site accessing (Logged in part) from unwanted IP addresses and crawlers, which uses your server resource and bandwidth.

  IP Whitelisting

• Many times, we don’t need to monitor any request from our own trusted network. In this case, we whitelist the IP and let them bypass. There can be issues if anyone attacks from their own network. To protect this, every request is monitored to a certain level to verify the request does not affect the website.

  IP Address Range Blocking and Browser Blocking

• If you want to block a particular range of IP addresses then you can enter the IP address range in the text field with separator ‘ - ‘.
• Also, you can block a particular browser. So that all requests coming from that Browser will be blocked.
