Installatie

Beveilig je site door de volgende stappen te gebruiken om Wordfence te installeren:

  1. Installeer Wordfence automatisch of door het ZIP bestand te uploaden
  2. Activeer Wordfence via het ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. Wordfence is nu geactiveerd.
  3. Go to the scan menu and start your first scan. Scheduled scanning will also be enabled.
  4. Nadat je eerste scan is afgerond, verschijnt er een lijst met bedreigingen. Ga ze stuk voor stuk na om je site te beveiligen.
  5. Bezoek de Wordfence opties pagina om je e-mailadres in te voeren, zodat je e-mail beveiligingswaarschuwingen kunt ontvangen.
  6. Optioneel kun je je beveiligingsniveau wijzigen of de geavanceerde opties aanpassen om individuele scan- en beschermingsopties voor je site in te stellen.
  7. Klik op de menu-optie “Live Traffic” om de activiteit op je site in realtime te bekijken. Situatiebewustzijn is een belangrijk onderdeel van sitebeveiliging.

Om Wordfence op WordPress multi-site installaties te installeren:

  1. Installeer Wordfence via de plugin folder of door het ZIP bestand te uploaden.
  2. Activeer Wordfence netwerkbreed. Deze stap is belangrijk, want totdat je het netwerkbreed activeert, zullen je sites de plugin optie in hun plugin menu zien. Eenmaal geactiveerd verdwijnt die optie.
  3. Nu dat Wordfence is geactiveerd zal het verschijnen in je netwerk beheer menu. Wordfence zal niet verschijnen in het menu van een individuele site.
  4. Ga naar het “Scan” menu en start je eerste scan.
  5. Wordfence zal een scan uitvoeren van alle bestanden in je WordPress installatie, inclusief die in de blogs.dir folder van je individuele sites.
  6. Live Traffic wordt weergegeven voor ALLE sites in je netwerk. Als je een systeem met veel verkeer heeft, wil je mogelijk Live Traffic uitschakelen, wat het loggen naar de DB zal stoppen
  7. Firewallregels en login regels zijn van toepassing op het HELE systeem. Dus als je een inlogpoging mislukt op site1.example.com en site2.example.com, telt dat als 2 mislukkingen. Crawler verkeer wordt geteld tussen blogs, dus als je drie sites in het netwerk bezoekt, worden alle hits opgeteld en dat telt als de snelheid waarmee je het systeem benadert.

Wanneer je een beveiligingswaarschuwing ontvangt, zorg er dan voor dat je deze snel afhandelt om de veiligheid van je site te waarborgen.

Do I need a security plugin like Wordfence if I’m using a cloud based firewall (WAF)?

Wordfence provides true endpoint security for your WordPress website. Unlike cloud based firewalls, Wordfence executes within the WordPress environment, giving it knowledge like whether the user is signed in, their identity and what access level they have. Wordfence uses the user’s access level in more than 80% of the firewall rules it uses to protect WordPress websites. Learn more about the Cloud WAF identity problem here. Additionally, cloud based firewalls can be bypassed, leaving your site exposed to attackers. Because Wordfence is an integral part of the endpoint (your WordPress website), it can’t be bypassed. Learn more about the Cloud WAF bypass problem here. To fully protect the investment you’ve made in your website you need to employ a defense in depth approach to security. Wordfence takes this approach.

What blocking features does Wordfence include?

  • Real-time blokkering van bekende aanvallers. Als een andere site die Wordfence gebruikt wordt aangevallen en de aanvaller wordt geblokkeerd, wordt je site automatisch beschermd.
  • Blokkeer volledige kwaadaardige netwerken. Inclusief geavanceerde IP en domein WHOIS om kwaadaardige IP’s of netwerken te rapporteren en volledige netwerken te blokkeren met de firewall. Rapporteer WordPress beveiligingsdreigingen aan de netwerkeigenaar.
  • Beperk of blokkeer WordPress beveiligingsdreigingen zoals agressieve crawlers, scrapers en bots die beveiligingsscans uitvoeren op zoek naar kwetsbaarheden in je site.
  • Kies of je gebruikers en robots die je WordPress beveiligingsregels overtreden wil blokkeren of beperken.
  • Premiumgebruikers kunnen ook landen blokkeren en scans abonnementen voor specifieke tijden en met een hogere frequentie.

What differentiates Wordfence from other WordPress Security plugins?

  • Wordfence Security provides a WordPress Firewall developed specifically for WordPress and blocks attackers looking for vulnerabilities on your site. The Firewall is powered by our Threat Defense Feed which is continually updated as new threats emerge. Premium customers receive updates in real-time.
  • Wordfence verifies your website source code integrity against the official WordPress repository and shows you the changes.
  • Wordfence scans controleren al je bestanden, reacties en berichten op URL’s in de Safe Browsing lijst van Google. Wij zijn de enige plugin die deze zeer belangrijke beveiligingsverbetering biedt.
  • Wordfence-scans verbruiken niet veel van je bandbreedte omdat alle beveiligingsscans plaatsvinden op je webserver, wat ze erg snel maakt.
  • Wordfence ondersteunt volledig WordPress Multi-Site, wat betekent dat je met één klik elke blog in je Multi-Site installatie kunt scannen op beveiliging.
  • Wordfence bevat twee-factor authenticatie, de meest veilige manier om brute force aanvallers te stoppen.

Zal WordFence mijn site vertragen?

No. Wordfence Security is extremely fast and uses techniques like caching its own configuration data to avoid database lookups and blocking malicious attacks that would slow down your site.

Wat als mijn site al gehackt is?

Wordfence Security is able to repair core files, themes and plugins on sites where security is already compromised. You can follow this guide on how to clean a hacked website using Wordfence. If you are cleaning your own site after a hack, note that site security cannot be assured unless you do a full reinstall if your site has been hacked. We recommend you only use Wordfence Security to get your site into a running state in order to recover the data you need to do a full reinstall. If you need help with a security issue, check out Wordfence Care, which offers hands-on support from our team, including dealing with a hacked site. For mission-critical sites, check out Wordfence Response.

Ondersteunt Wordfence Security IPv6?

Ja. We ondersteunen volledig IPv6 met alle beveiligingsfuncties, inclusief land blokkering, reeks blokkering, stadsopzoeking, whois opzoeking en alle andere beveiligingsfuncties. Als je geen IPv6 gebruikt, zal Wordfence ook uitstekend werken op je site. We zijn volledig compatibel met zowel IPv4 als IPv6, of je nu beide of slechts één adresseringsschema gebruikt.

Ondersteunt Wordfence Security Multi-Site installaties?

Yes. WordPress Multi-Site is fully supported. Using Wordfence you can scan every blog in your network for malware with one click. If one of your customers posts a page or post with a known malware URL that threatens your whole domain with being blocklisted by Google, we will alert you in the next scan.

Welke ondersteuningsopties zijn beschikbaar voor Wordfence gebruikers?

Beoordelingen

Annoying license

19 april 2024
The free version used to be much more useful before it required a license. That's an aggravating extra step which is unfortunate as we regularly had clients opt into the Premium license at a later date.

The block page exposes the wordpress admin page

17 april 2024
To me it is nonsense. For you as a developer it would cost you just a checkbox to hide our admin URL. For your information we had a huge attack on our admin page and after changing the URL using an another plugin, we managed to reduce it for 99%. So basically what you said is wrong and I have not idea why you guys are against changing your block page. We considered to get your paid version of your plugin but still this is the same none-sense with the paid version. If you would like to advertise your plugin this is not the right way!
