I use strongbox on one of my sites and I like it.

the only weakness is that inspite of attempting to protect from brute force attacks it doesn't do very well, I still get consistently hammered sometimes, it doesnt affect the bandwidth but it does slow down the server.

Im not sure how they are doing it but I can see 30000 failed attempts to login in a single day

proxypass seems to have a better method of dealing with that but it is pricey....I dont like paying a big monthly fee for that.

Ray if I am mistaken or whatever lemme know I also have an idea that might help if ya wanna hear it
