Manipulative, fear mongering, plugin

My level of coding and configuration knowledge is definitely low, so I can’t comment on the technical capabilities of this plugin. However, as a free user I do need to say that I find the way the plugin sends warnings about unaddressed vulnerabilities to be manipulative. You get these alarmist notes from Shield Security about what isn’t configured within Shield Security and urgently needs to be configured, but wonder of wonders all of these things Shield says you must must must do to avoid calamity can’t be done unless you pay for the “pro” version of the plugin. Shield’s scare tactics are deplorable and a form of emotional blackmail they should rise above.

If you’re going to offer a free version of your plugin, you should really think through how that free version can communicate the ethics and trustworthiness of your company. If you don’t do that, as is apparently the case here, you should do us all a favor and not offer a free version at all.
