IMPORTANT: Development of this PoC plugin is over ( there are performance and security issues with it ). Please use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/pike-firewall instead!
IMPORTANT: On update always deactivate plugin, update the code then activate again e.g. all plugin settings will be lost. This will be the case until we add all of the planned features and when we turn to UI/UX development this won't be the case.
