In late January 2020, Jeff Starr of Perishable Press transitioned the 7G Firewall from beta to production, but I just caught wind of it today.

7G is, as you may have guessed, the seventh generation of Jeff’s superb, time-tested, htaccess-based firewall for WordPress and other websites.

In Jeff’s own words …
The 7G Firewall offers lightweight, server-level protection against a wide range of malicious requests, bad bots, automated attacks, spam, and many other types of threats and nonsense.
7G is a lightweight (only 12KB) strong firewall that provides site security and peace of mind. Plus, 7G is open source and 100% free for everyone 🙂
So, for 6G enthusiasts (like me), time to move forward and upgrade to the new, improved 7G.
