<h3>🔐 Key Features:</h3>
<ul>

</li>
<li>
Brute Force Attack Protection 
Blocks repeated login attempts by limiting login frequency and analyzing IP reputation.
</li>
<li>
2-Factor Authentication (2FA) 
Adds an extra layer of login security for admin users, using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).
</li>
<li>
Real-Time Activity Logs 
Track login attempts, blocked IPs, suspicious requests, and system actions with detailed logs. View statistics by day, week, or month.
</li>
<li>
Custom IP Whitelisting & Blacklisting

</li>
<li>
GeoIP Blocking 
Block or allow access from specific countries using the MaxMind GeoIP2 database integration.
</li>
<li>
Bot Access Control 
Detect and manage access from known bots, scrapers, and fake crawlers. Option to block non-human traffic.
</li>
<li>
Anti-PHP Injection & File Access Blocking 
Prevents direct access to PHP files in sensitive directories such as <code>/wp-includes/</code> and <code>/wp-content/uploads/</code>.
</li>
<li>
Block Plugin and Theme Installation 
Restrict installation of new plugins and themes via the WordPress dashboard — even by administrators. This helps prevent unauthorized or accidental installation of insecure components. Manual installation via FTP remains possible.
</li>
<li>
Block Theme Editor 
Disable access to the Theme Editor (<code>/wp-admin/theme-editor.php</code>) to prevent direct file editing. This minimizes the risk of malicious code injection or unintentional file corruption.
</li>
<li>
Forbidden Comment Words Filter 
Automatically mark comments as spam if they contain forbidden words or patterns (e.g., <code>http</code>, <code>viagra</code>, <code>casino</code>, <code>porn</code>). Helps drastically reduce comment spam by detecting common keywords and links.
</li>
<li>
Auto Block IPs in .htaccess 
When enabled, IPs that exceed the rate limit are automatically added to the <code>.htaccess</code> file for permanent blocking. This server-level block prevents any further requests. Use with care, as shared or corporate IPs may be affected.
</li>
<li>
Email Notifications 
Stay informed with email alerts about critical security events, such as admin login attempts or IP bans.
</li>
<li>
Customizable Firewall Rules 
Advanced users can fine-tune rules with regex filters, HTTP method checks, user-agent filters, and more.
</li>
<li>
User-Friendly Admin Interface 
Guardify features a modern and intuitive UI built using native WordPress design language.
</li>
<li>
Clean Uninstall 
Automatically cleans up all data, logs, and settings when uninstalled—leaving your database clean.
