If a user makes three incorrect login attempts, they will be blocked from accessing Kloudbean servers or any services like SSH, SFTP, File Manager, and MySQL. This security measure helps prevent unauthorized access.
Additionally, if the server administrator has enabled BitNinja, they can restrict access from certain countries. This means that users from those countries won't be able to access the server or any URLs hosted on it.
To ensure that specific users or locations can still access the server despite these restrictions, the administrator needs to add their IP addresses to the whitelist. This can be done in the console under the Bruteforce Prevention settings and in the BitNinja firewall settings.
