Best WAF ever plus customer service is amazing, I was using their free version and
i didn’t expect that they responded back to me for my issue almost immediately and
got on a remote session to troubleshoot and very next day they shared the updated
plug-in which had the fix for my issue. I’ll definitely recommend this to everyone
i know.

While I just installed the WAF plug-in, I like the feature set and configuration
flexibility. Only time will tell regarding effectiveness, but I have closed some
gaps in my security. In the process of installing the plug-in there was an error
when I was setting up the recaptcha option for logins and registrations, so I emailed
the developer. Within 30 minutes or so, I got a reply and we set up a zoom meeting
and remote access and in 15 minutes we had the problem resolved. Pradeep was very
knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended!

I was experiencing problems with some “crawlers”, my page contains more than 5000
entries, with a lot of content (text, images, videos) … the bots are indexing it
again and they were saturating me to the point of having knocked the web down several
times … now I can control the request rate and free the server from so much load…
after having tried various applications, the only one that gave me good results 
was “Web Application Firewall” … now I can control access attempts, block malicious
users and control the way bots, spyders and crawlers access my page without saturating
the server resources
