Crowdsec – WordPress features

Hi @dimkasta ,
Thanks for your message.

In short: the WordPress plugin is “just” a bouncer (aka remediation component): it doesn’t detect anything, it applies CrowdSec’s decisions.

In other words, once you’ve installed the CrowdSec security engine on your server, certain decisions will be retrieved: community blocklist and local decisions, depending on the scenarios you install. The bouncer will “apply” these decisions: block access for “ban” remediation and display a captcha for “captcha” remediation.

For the last up-to-date documentation of the bouncer: https://github.com/crowdsecurity/cs-wordpress-bouncer/blob/main/docs/USER_GUIDE.md

And for a more generic CrowdSec ecosystem documentation: https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/intro

Hope it will help,

Thanks

Thank you for the quick response and the clarifications.
