シンプルで使いやすい

シンプルで使いやすいインターフェースが魅力的で、初心者でも簡単に設定できます。WAF機能がしっかりしていて、サイトのセキュリティを高めてくれるのが安心です。特に、シンプルwafは一般的な攻撃には十分対応できると思います、またサポートも丁寧に対応していただき感謝しております。今後さらなる進化に期待しております。

Not working for complete site

I checked the “complete site” radio button, but the auth only appeared on the wp-admin page. So the plugin is not working as advertised.

Great to see such a plugin available. Works like a charm and has more options than I thought. I appreciate that!
