Wordfence and Wordops?

Fernando

Hello,
What are your thoughts about installing Wordfence on sites that use WordOps? Is it necesary or recommended? I installed it, but I can't optimize the firewall...

I personally would never use it.

I use AWS Security Groups to harder access to the servers themselves, proper permissions for files and folders, and Cloudflare's WAF, and Cloudflare's Access feature to protect my site.

i do not see a usecase for WordFence, we are more fan of serverside security:

Fail2ban,
UFW
DDoS protection at datacentre level.

Where Wordfence could have a use case is maybe to locate abandoned plugins, but all our sites are integrated in our MainWP install, and that doesa excellent job in located old plugins, so there is no need for wordfence.

I personally wouldn't use it, also keep in mind that the free version 30 days behond in definitions, so it feels for me like fake security. Nope i Don't use it.
