WordPress Simple Firewall was mainly developed to help sites protect against login bots and brute force attacks.

The plugin helps developers setup various protection mechanisms in place, so the WP admin panel will be more unreachable for hackers and bots.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

Here are some key features of "WordPress Simple Firewall":

CHANGED:
