Excelente resultado, cero molestias.
Tras un par de meses de uso, luego de tener que abandonar otras medidas de seguridad por constantes problemas de caché, este plugin viene funcionando a la perfección, y no ha generado ninguna clase de conflictos con ningún otro elemento. Por ende, totalmente recomendable. Muchas gracias!

Lots of good and some bad
I like a lot of what this plugin does. I am a premium subscriber. My main problem is with how they calculate requests. If you disable wp_xmlrpc and a bot tries to login that way 20k times in a few hours, it counts each of those attempts individually as "requests". Same if you block a country, and it denys them based on that block it counts each as a request. So you can use up a large chunk of your monthly quota in a few hours... even though you had disabled those login pathways. So I am between 3-4 stars
