Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is VPN Guard’s core function?
VPN Guard is an access control node that drops traffic routed through VPNs, proxies, and datacenter bots. It cleanses your incoming connections, improving server response times, security posture, and analytics integrity.
2. Is the plugin completely free?
Yes. The plugin framework is 100% free. It queries the external vpnapi.io engine, which provides 1,000 free authentications per day. If your traffic exceeds this threshold, vpnapi.io requires a premium key, but the WordPress plugin itself incurs zero cost.
3. Will this trigger conflicts with caching environments?
No. VPN Guard is structurally compatible with reverse proxies, CDN layers (like Cloudflare), and aggressive caching plugins (WP Rocket, W3TC). It targets the true client IP seamlessly.
4. Can I restrict the scope of the defense grid?
Absolutely. You can deploy it globally across the domain, or restrict scanning exclusively to high-value vectors such as /wp-admin, WooCommerce checkout logic, or specific page IDs.
5. What happens if I require more than 1,000 daily queries?
You simply upgrade your key directly via vpnapi.io. VPN Guard supports any valid API key provided by their system; the plugin scales infinitely with your external API plan.
