WP fail2ban connects WordPress security events to fail2ban, so repeat attackers can be stopped at the firewall instead of repeatedly reaching PHP. The free version provides the core protection; Premium adds the full Blocklist, protection inside WordPress, maintained security data and persistent reporting.

Adds the support Premium needs for WordPress Multisite, and works on a single site too if you expect to turn it into a network later.
The WPf2b Blocklist learns from attacks seen across participating sites. The free Blocklist helps build that network; Premium includes the full current intelligence available for your site, giving your firewall hostile IP addresses it hasn’t encountered yet so it can block them before WordPress ever sees them.
WPf2b checks the SQL WordPress is actually about to run. There are no attack signatures. Whether it’s a zero-day or a well-known exploit, the WAF blocks the injection itself.
Premium keeps a structured history of security events, so you can follow an attack after the fact instead of relying on whatever is still in the system log. Trace activity by IP, country, username, event type and more to see what happened and how it unfolded.
Some protection depends on data that changes outside WordPress. Premium keeps geolocation data and trusted Cloudflare and Jetpack network ranges up to date automatically, so those protections don’t quietly go stale.
For a normal single-site WordPress installation.
Adds Multisite support. It also works on a normal single site, so choose Silver from the start if the installation is likely to become a Multisite network later.
Where fail2ban is available, WP fail2ban can turn WordPress security events into firewall bans.
WP fail2ban doesn’t need host-level privileges; the host remains in control of the firewall and fail2ban.
If the host does not support the firewall integration, the Free version can still log events but cannot itself cause firewall bans.
Premium protections that operate inside WordPress, including the WAF, can still provide value where host-level fail2ban integration is unavailable.

The firewall integration does. Some Premium protection, particularly the WAF, operates inside WordPress and does not depend on host-level firewall integration.
