I am new to tiddlywiki and like to use it to host some of my notes on my server using the node server. I am planning to use https and password to protect the wiki from being edited.

Does tiddlywiki throttle / ban multiple failed attempt to login for a given IP ? I could not find this information anywhere. Appreciate if anyone can confirm this.

Thank and Regards,

Nikhil Jacob

This will depend on what authentication you use, it is mostly likely part of the server or host you use and you could add additional protection on the front.

I believe the most security comes from using a proxy.

Tell us more about your current setup and authentication and others will help.

No. The current server configuration doesn't throttle or ban failed attempts. ... BUT I think it would be highly appreciated, if you would create PRs, if you are able to do so ;)
