Works well with Nginx and Cloudflare

  • I’d been using BulletProof Security for years, being very satisfied with the comprehensive level of protection it provided.

    However, after transitioning away from Apache/Lighttpd to an Nginx hosting solution, BulletProof Security was no longer able to provide full protection, being primarily a .htaccess based solution. Nginx does not support .htaccess.

    After checking around and looking at a number of reviews, I gave NinjaFirewall a go. The UI is simple and very easy to follow. The plugin feels very polished.

    I have a couple sites that sit behind CloudFlare, and a simple config file was needed to make that work well, but a sample file is provided and it was as easy as moving/renaming it to the right location and un-commenting some lines (as per the provided guide). NinjaFirewall detected it right away.

    The real test will be time. After about 10 years, BulletProof Security never let me down across multiple sites. Hopefully NinjaFirewall can live up to that standard.
