Comprehensive, technically up to date.
I'ḿ not the one to rush into writing a review, but Advanced IP blocker deserves it. Ive been a long time user of AIOS (free version), which is an established asset of the Wordpress community. I have to say this plugin supersedes it in many ways. Cloudflare integration, for a start, is a feature that adds the weight of a very robust access control management to your protection model. I hope more people give it a try and strengthen its development. Congratulations to the IniLerm, the dev, for his effort and making this tool accessible.

The most important plugin for our wordpress sites
At first it was a bit daunting with so many options, and once in the past it almost locked me out, but now we use it on EVERY wordpress site we work with. Its very reliable and you will be surprised with the amount of new blocks that are received daily. At this moment I'm financially very low, but I hope soon I can make a nice (reocurring) donation, because this plugin does more for free than many paid plugins promise. Keep it going 🙏 and thank you! ⚡⚡

Just AWESOME!
This plugin has so many great, useful features and more features and enhancements keep coming. If you are not using this plugin, you are really missing out on a lot of protection for your website. Yes, there are other plugins that offer some of the same features but why use multiple plugins when AIB covers them all in just one plugin. Oh, and AIB is free! Thank you for all your hard work on AIB!

Technically Fantastic Security plugin
We currently use this plugin in over 250 client websites. It integrates well with other firewall products and fills numerous gaps in the typical WP firewall or security plugin. The author gives immediate and detailed responses to all questions and inquires. The product is updated very frequently, instead of once in awhile like other products. The developer listens to the end users and add quality features in rapid time! I cant say enough good things about this plugin, its feature list is comprehensive, long and every growing. Keep up the most excellent work, this a plugin to be proud of. Oh, and its FREE! Security shouldn't have to cost you an arm and a leg.
