Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about VMP Security – The All-In-One Security and Firewall Plugin
VMP Security includes country blocking, audit log preview, IP blocklists, and 750+ WAF rules in the free version (new rule additions reach Free 30 days after Premium, same delay model as Wordfence Free). Wordfence gates country blocking and audit logs behind the $149/year premium plan. VMP Security also runs 9 specialized malware scanners (vs. Wordfence's 1 general scanner) and performs all scanning on your server — no file data is sent externally.
VMP Security Premium includes powerful premium features like real-time firewall rules and malware signatures for instant protection, along with advanced security features and a complete audit log with 1 year of history. It also offers off-site audit log sync via VMP Security Portal, advanced analytics and reporting, and priority support. With regular updates, vulnerability monitoring, and enhanced WordPress security controls, it delivers complete website protection. Premium is licensed per site.
Yes. The free version includes the full firewall (750+ rules), all 9 malware scanners (170,000+ signatures), country blocking, 50-entry audit log preview, 2FA, brute force protection, and live traffic monitoring — new rule and signature additions reach Free 30 days after Premium. Premium adds real-time WAF and signature updates, full audit log history with off-site portal sync, and YARA scanning with 1,000+ rules.
Nope. We're obsessed with performance. The firewall uses efficient pattern matching, scanners run in the background, and we optimize memory usage. Your visitors won't notice any slowdown.
Not really. It works great out of the box with secure defaults. But if you want to customize, we give you full control over every feature.
The attacker gets a 403 Forbidden page. We log the attack details (IP, type, time, violated rules) so you can see what happened. Repeat offenders get permanently banned.
Yes! Go to Firewall > Options and add your IP to the allowlist. You'll bypass all firewall rules (useful for testing).
Use any authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.). Scan the QR code during setup, and you're done. You'll enter a 6-digit code when logging in.
No security tool catches 100% of threats. But our specialized scanners with pattern matching, behavior analysis, and reputation checking catch the vast majority. We're constantly updating our detection signatures.
Yes. When we find infected WordPress core files, you can restore the original clean version with one click. For plugins and themes, we guide you through reinstalling from official sources. Our 9 scanners detect the malware — you control the cleanup.
