 * Hello [@kevindgreenhill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevindgreenhill/),
 * Category protection protect posts in category – when viewing on the category 
   archive page it will still display excerpts, but when trying to view post it 
   will show a protection message.
 * In case you want to hide posts entirely you must use add-on “Individual Posts”
   instead of Category protection. Both add-on can’t be enabled at once.
 * kind regards,
    Kasia
