The Leech Protection interface is a powerful security feature designed to help you limit the number of logins that can occur within a specific time frame, typically two hours, for restricted areas of your website.

What is Leeching?

Leeching happens when users share their login credentials publicly or with multiple people, allowing unauthorized access to protected parts of your site. This can cause security risks, bandwidth overuse, and potential loss of revenue if you are selling restricted content.

Why Use Leech Protection?

• Prevent Credential Sharing: Stop users from posting their usernames and passwords online or sharing with multiple users.
• Protect Restricted Content: Secure members-only areas, subscription content, or any private resources.
• Manage Server Resources: Reduce the load caused by multiple simultaneous logins using the same credentials.
• Improve Security: Prevent brute-force or mass-login attempts that could compromise your website.

How Leech Protection Works:

Leech Protection allows you to set a maximum number of logins allowed within a two-hour window for a particular directory or restricted area on your website. If the limit is exceeded, users can be redirected to a warning page or have their access disabled automatically.

How to Use the Leech Protection Interface:

1. Access the Leech Protection page in cPanel.
2. Select the directory you want to protect from excessive logins.
3. Set the maximum allowed logins within the two-hour timeframe.
4. Specify a redirect URL where users exceeding the login limit are sent (e.g., an informational page).
5. Choose to disable compromised accounts automatically if you wish to take strict action.

Enable the protection with a click.

Best Practices for Leech Protection:

• Use Leech Protection on sensitive or subscription-only content.
• Communicate login policies clearly to your users.
• Monitor for suspicious activity and adjust limits as necessary.
• Combine with other security tools like IP Blocker and SSL/TLS for enhanced protection.
