Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Vigilant – 100% Free Security Suite: Firewall, 2FA, Login, Headers, Scanner…
No. Vigilante is optimized for performance. The firewall uses efficient pattern matching, database queries are cached with transients, and .htaccess rules execute at server level before PHP even loads.
Vigilante immediately creates a backup of your existing .htaccess and wp-config.php files, then applies default security settings. All 8 modules are enabled with balanced defaults suitable for most sites.
All security modifications are automatically reverted. The .htaccess rules are removed, wp-config.php constants are restored to their original values, and scheduled tasks are cleared. Your site returns to its pre-Vigilante state.
After entering your username and password, you receive a 6-digit verification code via email. Enter this code to complete login. You can optionally mark your device as trusted to skip 2FA for 30 days on that browser.
Check your spam folder first. You can click "Resend code" on the verification form. Codes expire after 10 minutes by default. If issues persist, an administrator can temporarily disable 2FA from the plugin settings.
By default, 2FA is enforced for administrators and editors. You can customize which roles require 2FA in the Login Security settings, or exclude specific users.
Access your site via FTP/SFTP and either rename the plugin folder to disable it temporarily, or delete the vigilante_login_attempts table rows for your IP address in the database.
The firewall is configured to allow normal WordPress operations, including the block editor, REST API, and popular page builders. If you experience issues, you can whitelist specific IPs or adjust rate limiting thresholds.
While Vigilante works standalone, running multiple security plugins can cause conflicts. We recommend testing in a staging environment first if you need to combine security solutions.
Yes. Vigilante is compatible with popular caching plugins. The firewall runs before cache layers, and .htaccess rules don't interfere with caching mechanisms.
