Better than nothing I guess. But, it’s free plugin so…

I only installed the plugin today, 01/09/20202, and an hour or so after activating CloudGuard, I saw a surprising spike in login attempts all from non-US IPs. Thankfully, they were all blocked by Wordfence. In the CloudGuard section of my WP Dashboard, it shows that about 35 non-US login attempts were blocked. Wordfence reports hundreds of login attempts blocked. Yes, all my settings at CloudFlare are correct.

I’m going to give it a few days to see if anything improves (or not) and then decide whether I’ll delete CloudGuard or not.

My client is a non-profit and has no budget (i.e. Wordfence Premium), so that’s why we’re going the free plugin route. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated by me and my client.

Thanks and stay tuned… ??
