Bots Attack

Hi @muzzamilk32,

Wordfence’s rate-limiting and brute-force protection settings are designed to automatically handle bot traffic. Rate limiting throttles or blocks IPs making excessive requests, and brute force protection handles repeated login attempts. You can review and adjust both of these at Wordfence > All Options > Firewall > Rate Limiting and Wordfence > All Options > Firewall > Brute Force Protection.

You can find our recommended settings at https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/brute-force/ and https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/rate-limiting/

It’s also worth making sure your firewall is optimized to Extended Protection, which allows Wordfence to catch and block requests before WordPress fully loads. You can check this at Wordfence > Firewall > Manage WAF > Protection Level.

These features are all available in the free version of the plugin. Since you have a Premium license, you can also open a ticket through the Get Help button under your license at https://www.wordfence.com/licenses for additional assistance.

Hope that helps,
Margaret
