Hi Pat,
First, I’m sorry to hear you were down for a time. How are your firewall settings configured? That would determine how Wordfence throttles traffic from IP addresses that break a rule.

Hi Brian. There are a lot of settings in there. Is there a way I can get you a screen shot of my settings instead of telling you what each one is? I don’t see an attachment feature in the forum. Or is there one or two I should look at in particular?
Thanks,
Pat
Use http://postimage.org/ Very easy and free.

Thanks!
When taking the screen shots and looking at the setting I realize some of them should probably be changed. Not sure which ones? Do you have a tutorial video?

Hi Pat,
Thanks! Take a look at this document on Firewall settings:
http://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_options#Firewall_Rules
You’ll want to adjust your settings from Unlimited, which is essentially having the Firewall off, to the recommendations in the document. The suggested settings are just a starting point so you may have to tweak the settings.
Hope that helps,
Brian
Very Helpful, Brian! You guys are very good with your support, even to free people like me. When I get my site to a point of self-sustainability financially I will look to get the paid version.
