<div align=justify>'''''Leeching''''' occurs when the users who have restricted access to your website make their password publicly available, allowing other visitors to use the login information and access your site. 

cPanel has a leech protect option, redirecting and potentially suspending the user. The leechprotect function works by setting the maximum number of logins for a user within a 2-hour time limit. If this limit is exceeded, the user is presumed to be allowing other visitors to use his or her login information.

To leechprotect your website:

* Log into your '''cPanel => [[Security]] => Leech Protect'''.

* Click the name of the directory you want to leech protect.

* To navigate directories, use the folder icon located next to the directory name. 

* Enter the maximum number of logins each user is allowed within a 2-hour period.
