David,

Thanks for your fast response. However, if the plugin doesn't edit the .htaccess file - how come these entries
appear there:
# BEGIN Brute Force Login Protection
<Files "*">
order deny,allow
deny from 78.172.23.163
deny from 78.172.27.163
deny from 190.199.240.204
deny from 78.186.105.54
deny from 2.238.115.47
</Files>
# END Brute Force Login Protection

Please advise. .
