How to Configure Leech Protection Print

  • leech-protection, password-protection, security
  • 0

Use cPanel → Security → Leech Protection for a directory that already uses or will use Directory Privacy.

  1. Select the directory.
  2. Set the maximum logins allowed for each user within two hours.
  3. Optionally configure a redirect and alert address.
  4. Choose whether accounts that exceed the limit should be disabled.
  5. Enable the protection.

Use a threshold that matches legitimate usage. An unrealistically low limit can block normal users who access many resources.
