Leech Protect is a Standard Security feature offered within cPanel. Suppose a user is publically posting usernames or passwords in restricted areas of your website and if it is causing a threat to your website’s security, you can restrict that user from doing the same.

1) Assuming that you are logged into your cPanel. You will see a option of “Leech Protect” in “Security” section.

2) When you click on “Leech Protect”, you will get a new window. You can select a domain/ sub-domain which you have added previously in your cPanel.

3) When you click on “OK” button, you will get a new windows where you can select a particular folder which you wish to protect.

4) Once you click on a particular directory, you will get a new window where you can set the required permissions.

5) Here you can set the number of login attempts which can be made in 2 hours, so the user cannot login more than the limit allotted by you.
