 * I like this firewall. I’m not at all knowledgeable about these things but this
   firewall seems to work well. I also like the idea of the tick box as I guess 
   that also stops most bots.
 * I tried another firewall recently and I guess it also worked – but it also locked
   me out if I was working on my website. After doing this to me three times I go
   sick of waiting to be allowed back into my own website so I deleted it and replaced
   it with this firewall.
