Description
Ad blockers affect publisher revenues. Revenue Shield is an advanced solution designed for publishers to recover lost ad revenue by asking users to whitelist your site, while also providing powerful security hardening and WAF features.
🛑 REVENUE SHIELD ENGINE
Free (Lite) Features:
* Smart Detection: Detects basic adblockers via DOM element checks.
* Customizable Warning: Change the warning title and message to fit your brand.
* Dismissible Popups: Allow users to close the warning and continue reading by simply clicking “Skip” or pressing the ESC key.
PRO Features:
* Hard-Lock Engine: Removes the “Skip” button and disables the ESC key.
* Polymorphic Anti-Tamper: Randomizes HTML/CSS/JS variables per reload to defeat AdBlock static rules and Inspect Element bypassing.
* Content Blurring: Adds a premium frosted-glass blur over your entire website content.
* AdBlock Redirect: Instantly redirect adblock users to a specific URL instead of a popup.
* rDNS SEO Bot Verification: Uses cached Reverse DNS lookup to securely verify real Google/Bing bots.
🔒 SYSTEM HARDENING & SECURITY
Free (Lite) Features:
* Basic Brute Force Protection: Limits malicious login attempts based on IP.
* Hide WP Version: Removes your WordPress version from the source code.
* Disable File Editor: Prevents editing theme/plugin files directly from the dashboard.
PRO Features:
* Enterprise WAF Engine: Scans GET, POST, COOKIE, and User-Agent parameters for decoded XSS/SQLi payloads.
* Hide Login Page: Change your wp-login.php path to a secret custom URL (e.g., /my-secret-door).
* DDoS Rate Limiting: Blocks IPs making excessive requests (e.g., >120 requests per minute).
* Block Empty User-Agents: Blocks primitive scrapers and bad bots that send no browser identity.
* Disable XML-RPC: Blocks the WordPress XML-RPC endpoints to prevent pingback attacks.

FAQ
-
How does the Brute Force protection block attackers?
-
The plugin uses standard WordPress Transients API to log failed attempts. If an IP fails to log in 5 times, it is temporarily locked out for 15 minutes.
-
Is the plugin heavy on my server?
-
No. The rules are written in native PHP and heavily utilize caching/transients to ensure minimal database queries and maximum performance.
