Hi Monika, I know our Defender team are actively looking into this, so hopefully we’ll have something to help you and other members combat spambots more effectively soon! :)

Where to find a nice agent’s list? I have a bit of a problem with some spambots and I would love to ban them.

I have always been facing an issue with spams on my website forms, resulting in receiving unwanted emails. Would like to ask if the plugin Defender will be able to take care of such things, I tried adding recapptcha but somehow it didnt work.

Hi Álvaro Novais

Thank you for sharing it.

This was an interesting URL, I do see they are missing some information for example Brute Force, Country Blocking, Two Factor Authentication & Others.

I couldn’t understand if the website reports as Defender plugin not having those features however those and more are included in the plugin.

Best Regards
Patrick Freitas

hello Kasia and James,

I ended up finding this comparison between Defender vs Wordfence Premium, I don’t know if it’s current, but it can help to create an accurate comparison here on the blog

Many thanks Kasia Swiderska and James Farmer.

As this is something we will always need, it will be very good to have this list organized in the WPMU DEV documents or even on the Blog, for sure they will choose the best place to keep this list up to date.
