 * Hello,
    When Wordfence Options > Security Level is set to “Level 4: Lockdown”
   the first 2 firewall rules are set @ 960 per minute. Wordfence documentation 
   recommends a tighter setting of 240 per minute as a good setting. Shouldn’t Level
   4 be less than 240 per minute?
 * I also noticed that at a “Level 2: Medium Protection” two options under “Login
   Security Options” are empty. The two options are: “Count failures over what time
   period” and “Amount of time a user is locked out”.
 * Thanks for your help,
    Clint

 * Clint,
 * Thank you for reporting this! I will pass it on the developers, to fix the blank
   fields and determine whether to update the documentation or the settings for 
   Level 4.

 * I have Premium Wordfence. When I select “Security Level: Level 2: Medium protection.
   Suitable for most sites”, the checkboxes in Basic Options becomes unchecked for:
   
   Advanced Comment Spam Filter Check if this website is being “Spamvertised” Check
   if this website IP is generating spam Update Wordfence automatically when a new
   version is released?
 * Is this working correctly or a bug?
    Thanks Wordfence- Paula
