WP Login Lockdown

Product details

Q: Firewall question and others

Does the firewall just block access to the login page or the whole site?

Also, how many IPs are in the banned list, and how often is it updated?

Any plans on adding a malware scanner and a core integrity scanner?

A: Hi,
You can choose that in the settings - it is possible to block the entire site or just the login page.
There are hundreds of thousands of IPs on the list, and it's regularly updated on a monthly basis.
Currently, we do not have plans to add additional scanners.

I also cannot see any screenshots of the firewall feature on your website.

The firewall works in the background, so there's not much to show :)

Oh, also, is it good at NOT blocking Google/Bing bots or real users?

Yes, it is :)

Thanks for that! Do you think this is a good plugin to replace Wordfence? I am looking at comparing with WP Security Ninja that is on AppSumo.

I suggest checking all the features that both plugins offer. It's really hard to compare since there are dozens of different features; it all comes back to what features you need.

I do wonder - with the firewall - how can we see what it's blocking or change settings if there is no page to do it from? Will we ever get options? Like whitelist and blacklist options.

I'm also concerned the bad IP list does not get updated that frequently compared to others.

Hi,
You can always add IPs to your whitelist and blacklist available on the dashboard.

For details about what the firewall has blocked, there's an activity tab available in the plugin settings. You can see what it looks like here:
