 * I tried reading the relevant site pages, but I only got generic info
 * What protection does the crowdsec plugin provide? Are there any WAF features?
   Any sql injection protection? Or is it just login / brute force protection?

 * Hi [@dimkasta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimkasta/) ,
   Thanks for your
   message.In short: the WordPress plugin is “just” a bouncer (aka remediation component):
   it doesn’t detect anything, it applies CrowdSec’s decisions.
 * In other words, once you’ve installed the CrowdSec security engine on your server,
   certain decisions will be retrieved: community blocklist and local decisions,
   depending on the scenarios you install. The bouncer will “apply” these decisions:
   block access for “ban” remediation and display a captcha for “captcha” remediation.
   
   For the last up-to-date documentation of the bouncer: [https://github.com/crowdsecurity/cs-wordpress-bouncer/blob/main/docs/USER_GUIDE.md](https://github.com/crowdsecurity/cs-wordpress-bouncer/blob/main/docs/USER_GUIDE.md)
 * And for a more generic CrowdSec ecosystem documentation: [https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/intro](https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/intro)
   
   Hope it will help,Thanks
