    Has anyone ever seen Bot in Human/Bot field of Activity detail? 100 % of them on all my servers are now Humans, even the most typical bot activites.

    Hi @thomask,

    Wordfence uses various methods to categorize humans from bots, this includes:

    – observing activity on page with JavaScript
    – IP address, user-agent, referrer

    In your case, these bots have been detected as humans. Note that this only changes what rate limiting rules are applied to these connections.

    Dear Dave, i do not care HOW you do it, i can probably imagine how you could do it. What i say is that your methods are probably bugy or not working at all, when 100 % of typical bot visits you declare as human. If i would show even one bot in all the visits, i would say, that it just works sub-optimally, but when 100 % of thousands and thousands of visits are defined as human, than i guess it does not work at all.

    P.S.: wordfence has no javascript on the page if user is not logged in, so I have no clue how you would be able to observe activity on page with javascript.
