 * The firewall is very efficient. Wordfence Free has stopped attacks that Solid
   Security free didn’t. The 2 tools are different, but against IA attacks and DDOS,
   Wordfence **seems **more efficient.
   I had to complete protection by custom .htaccess
   rules on each site, adapted to effective brute force attacks.
