# How is LLAR better than other brute-force protection plugins?

Our main focus is protecting your site from brute-force attacks. This allows our plugin to be very lean and effective. It doesn’t require a lot of your web hosting resources and keeps your site well-protected. More importantly, it does all of this automatically as our service learns on its own about each IP it encounters. In contrast, a firewall would require manual addition or removal of IPs. We’ve published an article about it [here](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/should-i-block-ip-addresses/).
