What is Wordfence?

Wordfence features a powerful endpoint firewall along with a malware scanner that is specifically tailored to protect WordPress websites. By leveraging our Threat Defense Feed, Wordfence consistently updates its firewall rules, malware signatures, and identifies malicious IP addresses, which collectively enhance the security of your site. In addition to these core functions, it provides an array of extra features, positioning it as the most comprehensive security solution in the industry.

By operating directly at the server's endpoint, Wordfence delivers a level of protection that significantly surpasses that of cloud-based alternatives. Unlike cloud firewalls, which can be bypassed and have been associated with data breaches, Wordfence incorporates user identity data in over 85% of its firewall rules, offering a critical advantage over cloud services. Moreover, our firewall upholds the integrity of end-to-end encryption, a capability that many cloud solutions compromise, thereby further bolstering your site's security. This extensive security framework guarantees that your WordPress website is well-equipped to fend off a wide range of online threats, ensuring peace of mind for site owners and users alike.

    All of a sudden killed my login capability

    Date: Jun 04 2021
    Summary

    Good for years, and then dead in the water. Very frustrating! I had no idea what was causing the problem until I got professional help; it only takes one such incident to completely turn me against it. I can't trust it any more; will have to find an alternative.

    Positive

    I used it for several years, and never had a problem. Periodic reports of actions taken are very interesting, but mean little to me because I'm not an IT person, nor am I a CS major.

    Negative

    The latest update made it impossible for me to log in to my site for editing purposes -- had to get help to disable it, because I couldn't log in. What a shame...
