Unfortunately, I have decided it is necessary to move to another security plug-in. The apparent inability of Wordfence to resolve this issue has forced me to uninstall it.
A key component of cyber-security is the ability to monitor and identify “bad actors” attempting to access a site. However, with this issue there are just too many legitimate hits in the logs. It makes identifying the undesirable hits too labor intensive.
There are actually a number of issues here, but the apparent philosophical issue is the worst. Wordfence does not seem to understand what is important to security monitoring. You give us the ability to view blocked attempts to access the site, but that is less important than the ability to view those that are unwanted, but not blocked. Where is the list of unknown actors that are not blocked. That was the idea behind the Live Traffic View options. The most important security monitoring piece of the product is NOT WORKING. Until you can show me a list of unknowns who are trying to access my site…free of log entries for all those that I do know…this product does not meet my need to monitor the activity on my sites.
Your truly,
Dissatisfied ex-user
