Protection Against DDoS

This plugin resolves performance issues caused by brute force attacks described in the WordPress Codex here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Brute_Force_Attacks From WordPress Codex: Due to the nature of these attacks, you may find your server’s memory goes through the roof, causing performance problems. This is because the number of http requests (that is the number of times someone visits your site) is so high that servers run out of memory. A common attack point on WordPress is to hammer the wp-login.php file over and over until they get in or the server dies. You can do some things to protect yourself. Protection Against DDoS plugin addresses these issues very well. It also allows to deny access to common WordPress features that get frequently attacked, like xmlrpc or RSS feeds pages. CloudFlare users can allow or deny access for visitors from specified countries. All checks are done via the .htaccess file so that bogus requests can’t even reach your WordPress site and get bounced at the web server level. You can also specify exactly where they can be bounced to. Compatibility Doesn’t have any known conflicts with any other security plugins. Fully compatible with WordPress multisites. Advanced users can get more technical information on the FAQ page.

It is suitable to Prevent against IP Stresser and booter scripts that want to increase the consumption of your site’s resources with a “Slow” method. What is IP Stresser ? An IP stresser is an online tool that is used to attack a server or a website by overwhelming its resources with a flood of Internet traffic. It is often used to test the strength and resilience of a server or a network, but it can also be used maliciously to bring down a website or a service by denying legitimate users access. IP stressers are often used by hackers to launch attacks on websites, but they can also be used by legitimate businesses and organizations to test their websites’ performance. What is Slowloris Attack? Slowloris is a type of DDoD attack that targets web servers by keeping many HTTP connections open simultaneously and sending partial HTTP requests. This can tie up server resources and cause the server to reach its maximum concurrent connection limit, preventing legitimate users from accessing the website. It’s worth noting that Layer 7 attacks are often more difficult to mitigate compared to lower-level attacks, as they can mimic legitimate traffic patterns and require more advanced detection and mitigation techniques. Implementing proper security measures, such as web application firewalls (WAFs) and rate-limiting mechanisms, can help protect against Layer 7 attacks.
