Thank you.

I'm actually working on a plugin which does exactly this. I'll publish it on my website soon.

very nice!
when you think it will be ok ?
I'm doing some testing on the throttling mechanism, but it shouldn't take long. The only thing is that I will have to release another plugin before this one, as this one relies on it.

Good news, the plugin is ready. I'm now writing some documentation for both this new plugin and one it requires, and I'll make both of them available on my online shop. I completed them in record time!

Excellent Sir

Apologies for the delay, I've been very busy recently. The good news is that I managed to upload all the plugins to my shop. The readme for LoginGuard is still missing, but it should be quite easy.
Bonus
To celebrate Halloween and the launch of LoginGuard plugin, you can get 10% discount when you buy it, by using the code THEGUARD-1211.

Nice!
I was a little betatester
, but it works very well now. I can recommend it 
Sorry for the inconvenience. The issue you faced was due to a typo in a folder name. I developed and tested the plugin on XAMPP, which runs on Windows, which has a case-insensitive file system. Linux, instead, complained because folder loginguard doesn't exist, as it's called LoginGuard. Stupid mistake, I know. Sorry about that.
