 * Hi,
 * Most sites can use the default Wordfence settings when it is first installed.
   If you have a reverse proxy (like Varnish, CloudFlare, or nginx in some setups),
   you may need to set the “How does Wordfence get IPs” option.
 * Wordfence can block a lot of different types of bots, but it depends on the settings
   you choose under the Firewall Rules section of the Wordfence options page. Bots
   are identified by their behavior, like the speed of their pageviews or how many
   404 pages they visit. By default they’re unlimited, but you can choose amounts
   appropriate for your site.
 * Malicious bots that attempt to log into the site are covered under the Login 
   Security Options section, below that. You can make the options more strict, if
   you think it is necessary, but be careful not to set them so strict that they
   may block legitimate users (or yourself)!
