We have been using this system for about a year (still with version 2.2 - with possible minor bugs that take a bit longer to shut out a hacking IP than specified). The system has been very reliable, as verified by our own automated tracker for login attempts.
A newer version 2.5 is available.

I also would like to be able to block certain IP addresses after a certain number of failed logins, even if they were for different user names.
Thanks
