Stop forum spam before it reaches your community.

Our always-free package has been designed to give ongoing protection to small and medium communities. If you find you are out of allowance and in the middle of a spam wave, it is one click to enable attack mode and keep protection running when you need it most.

For larger sites, business users, multiple forums, or if you need more detailed reporting, our Core and Pro packages unlock more features and dedicated support.

No credit card is required to use our free package, and you will start with a 30-day trial of the Pro features too.

No. Forum Fortress uses multiple signals, including our honeypot forum network, past activity, and visitor metadata.

Forum Fortress is designed to work with the minimum amount of personal data.

We one-way hash submitted details automatically within five days, giving you enough time to analyse the logs without holding any personal data for longer than necessary.

We capture no more data than is required to do the job, and only use data already being collected by your site's normal operations. More information can be viewed in our privacy policy.

Yes. Forum Fortress checks risky registrations before they become public members, helping block spam accounts before they post, add profile links, or create moderation work.

No. Unlike some competing solutions, Forum Fortress works entirely in the background and does not change the appearance, behaviour, or code of your community site, ensuring no third-party code calls slow your members down.

Yes. Even if a malicious person makes it past registration, Forum Fortress will monitor the links they post. Whether it is in a topic, thread, profile post, or signature, if the link is suspicious, Forum Fortress will in almost all cases catch it and act according to your settings.

No. Forum Fortress is designed to protect forums without the use of CAPTCHA challenges. Spam checks run in the background through the plugin and cloud decision engine, analysing user behaviour in a privacy-friendly way.

CAPTCHAs often have to play catch-up with the latest methods used by bad actors, and can present a genuine accessibility challenge to the real human users you want on your site.

Forum Fortress currently supports XenForo, phpBB, Invision Community, and SMF. We continue to improve these plugins and work on supporting more platforms. If your forum software is not covered, feel free to contact us and we can let you know our development plans for your platform.

Forum Fortress is designed to make quick cloud decisions without getting in the way of normal forum use. If we detect poor performance or high latency from our system to yours, we will automatically spin up a new node that is nearer to your site's server to help keep things running smoothly and invisibly for your users.

If one of our nodes has an issue or is down for maintenance, our plugin is designed to connect to a backup system automatically to ensure no interruptions to your protection.
