Banana Defender does none of that. **Install the plugin. Launch the wizard. Done in 2 minutes.** Your firewall, malware scanner, login protection, and virtual patching are configured — no cybersecurity degree required. Easy for beginners, fully flexible for pros. Banana Defender runs entirely on your server.

GDPR-compliant and cookie-free from the moment you activate it. Built in Germany by [flexxDEV](https://flexx-dev.com).

Made in Germany by [flexxDEV](https://flexx-dev.com). #### Legal * [Terms of Service / AGB / EULA](https://flexx-dev.com/terms-agb/) * [Privacy Policy / Datenschutzerklärung](https://flexx-dev.com/privacy-policy/) * [Impressum](https://flexx-dev.com/impressum/) ### External Services This plugin optionally connects to the following external services: #### Freemius When activated, Banana Defender uses the [Freemius](https://freemius.com/) SDK for license management and optional usage analytics. **No data is transmitted without explicit user consent** — an opt-in screen is shown after plugin activation. Data sent after opt-in: site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, user email and name. * [Freemius Terms of Service](https://freemius.com/terms/) * [Freemius Privacy Policy](https://freemius.com/privacy/) #### Vulnerability Database Banana Defender downloads vulnerability data from the flexxDEV update server to power the virtual patching engine. This connection transmits only the plugin version and WordPress version. No personal or site-identifying data is sent. * Server: flexx-hosting.de * [flexxDEV Privacy Policy](https://flexx-dev.com/privacy-policy/) #### WordPress.org API The File Integrity Monitoring feature retrieves checksums from api.wordpress.org to verify WordPress core files. This transmits your WordPress version and locale. No personal data is sent. * [WordPress.org Privacy Policy](https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/) ### Advanced Configuration #### WP-CLI Commands Banana Defender registers WP-CLI commands for server-side management. Useful for locked-out situations, automated deployments, and headless administration. Command Description `wp banana-defender status` Show plugin version and module status (enabled/disabled) `wp banana-defender login-url` Display the current custom login URL `wp banana-defender reset-login-url` Disable the custom login URL and restore wp-login.php access Example — recover from a forgotten custom login URL: ``` wp banana-defender reset-login-url ``` #### wp-config.php Constants You can override certain Banana Defender behaviors by defining constants in your` wp-config.php`. Add them **before** the `/* That's all, stop editing! */` line. Constant Value Effect `BANADE_DISABLE_LOGIN_URL` `true` Disables the custom login URL feature entirely. wp-login.php becomes accessible again without changing any plugin settings. Use this as an emergency recovery when you forgot your custom login URL and cannot access WP-CLI. Example — restore login access via wp-config.php: ``` define( 'BANADE_DISABLE_LOGIN_URL', true ); ``` After regaining access, disable the custom login URL in the plugin settings and remove the constant from wp-config.php. ### Haftungsausschluss / Disclaimer #### Deutsch HAFTUNGSAUSSCHLUSS — BITTE SORGFAELTIG LESEN Dieses Plugin wird “wie besehen” (“as is”) zur Verfuegung gestellt.

Follow the Setup Wizard to configure your security settings ## FAQ ### Does Banana Defender slow down my website? No. Banana Defender is built to be invisible to your visitors. All security checks run efficiently with minimal impact on page load times. No external API calls, no cloud roundtrips — everything happens locally on your server. ### Is Banana Defender GDPR-compliant? From the moment you activate it. Banana Defender was designed in Germany with GDPR/ DSGVO as a core architecture principle — not a checkbox added later. No data is sent to external servers without your explicit opt-in. No cookies are set for your visitors. No consent banner needed. ### What is Virtual Patching? When a vulnerability is discovered in a WordPress plugin or theme, it can take days or weeks until the developer releases a fix. Virtual Patching closes that gap: Banana Defender automatically blocks known exploit patterns at the firewall level — protecting your site even before an update is available. This covers 33,000+ known vulnerabilities and is included for free. ### Do I need the Pro or Agency version? The free version covers all essential security features, including Virtual Patching, malware scanning, login protection, and 2FA. That’s more than most plugins offer in their paid tier. Pro adds automation: scheduled scans, email alerts, audit logging, auto-repair, and hourly vulnerability updates — set it and forget it. Agency is built for professionals managing client sites: geo-blocking, bot detection, session management, PDF reports, and WP-CLI support. ### Can I use Banana Defender alongside other security plugins? We recommend running one security plugin at a time. Multiple firewalls and scanners competing for the same requests create conflicts and false positives. Banana Defender covers firewall, scanner, login protection, 2FA, file integrity, and hardening — a second security plugin would be redundant. ### Where can I get support? Free users: [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/banana-defender/). Pro and Agency: priority email support directly from the developer — typically same- day response. ### Why should I trust a new security plugin? Fair question. Banana Defender’s Virtual Patching engine covers the same vulnerability database that established players use. The firewall rules are updated in real-time. The codebase follows WordPress coding standards and has passed WordPress.org review. And unlike many competitors, we don’t require a cloud connection — which means fewer attack vectors, not more. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Banana Defender – GDPR-Compliant Firewall, Scanner & Virtual Patching for WordPress” is open source software.
