How Do I Add a Firewall to My WordPress Site?

Adding a firewall to a WordPress site can help protect it from attacks from outside sources. There are a number of different firewalls available that can be installed on a WordPress site.

The most popular firewalls for WordPress are the CloudFlare and WP Firewall extensions.

To add a firewall to your WordPress site, first make sure that you have the appropriate plugin installed. The CloudFlare and WP Firewall extensions are both available as free and premium plugins.

Once you have the plugin installed, go to the settings page and enter your site’s domain name and the IP addresses of the computers that will be accessing your site.

The CloudFlare extension will allow you to whitelist specific IP addresses, and the WP Firewall extension will allow you to add specific rules for how traffic should be handled. Once you have set up your firewall, you will need to periodically check to see if there are any changes to the rules that you have set.
