Shield Security – Smart Bot Blocking & Intrusion Prevention Security

I've been using Shield Security for quite some time now, and I can confidently say that it's one of the best security plugins out there. This tool has already saved my website from serious hacking attempts on two separate occasions, giving me peace of mind knowing that my site is well-protected.

The plugin is straightforward to set up, and the features are robust, offering everything I need to keep my site secure. The support team is responsive and clearly committed to improving the product continuously.

Overall, Shield Security is an essential tool for anyone serious about protecting their website. Highly recommended!

Great experience, great plugin. Support are extremely quick, friendly, helpful and always got the extra mile. I have no problem recommending them as the best security plugin with the best support team I've encountered for a wordpress plugin.

You can rest easy knowing you are protected.

Hello, I wanted to embed my site on another site so that I could implement a phone application, but the firewall blocks although the domain, IP, owner, server are the same, only the subdomain differs.

The Shield Security plugin works very nicely, and Paul went the extra mile (and then some) to help resolve a minor issue recently. Highly recommended!

If this is not your first security plugin you know that security is a complex topic and there can't be the only one fits-it-all plugin in that area. For me it works very well for years now and I have seen constant improvements in concepts and ideas. I don't like or need every little aspect of some features and feel a bit overwhelmed by the GUI sometimes, but what you don't need you can ignore.

When asking the support for help or pointing to problems I always received same-day-responses (speaking of Pro) which is great, considering we talk about security.

Update[13.03.2024] - The issues that I have raised seems to to work now. I never had the intention to let down the work spent on creating such helpful plugin.

Clarify my doubt which I tested. Lets say at 12.00 PM a user IP is blocked for 1 day. After 12 hours later, when I as a user refresh the page , the page still says Restrictions lifted - 23 hours from now. There is no timer countdown to show the actual time left and the 24 hour ban will continue again if user refresh the page after 12 hours ? The Access Restricted page must show the real time left for restriction. Can you clarify this ?

Tried to test the offenses to check what happens after it hits the limit. For this I tried to spam the comment more than 10 times to trigger the cool down period. Offense limit was default 10 which I didn't change, I hit this limit , got redirected to Shield page saying IP restricted which is good. The IP block is set 24 hours. Now help me understand, why after certain seconds, the IP which was blocked is able to access the website again. I was able to spam comments again got same IP restriction page, and now my offenses is 12. In a normal scenario if IP is banned for 24 hours, the same IP restrict message must be shown for total ban time and offense counter should not exceed the set threshold which is 10 in this case, not sure why after certain seconds I was able to access the page and spam again. If this is how your plugin works, I am afraid it has loopholes and bots can spam again and again as the IP ban does not work at all.

Too bad there is no way to write a direct message as only pro users support is available which limits such reporting with screenshots.

I had installed and uninstalled 5 different security plugins for my site prior to finding this perfect plugin. I am just starting out so I wanted something I could test for no cost before buying the upgraded version. The other plugins were difficult to set up, crashed my site and only had minimal security coverage. Shield Security was beautifully different. It was super easy to set up, and security management and reports will be a breeze. Thank you so much for this great product.

Added email address to "Personalized Block List", open incognito, register with that same email address.

You can.

amazing...

I have been using this on several sites I manage, and greatly appreciate the ease of setup, clear information on each page, and most importantly, it works great for blocking intrusions.
