Overview
--------

*WPf2b* installs just like any other WordPress plugin - you need do nothing differently.

Premium
^^^^^^^

The Premium version installs via Freemius.

Database
""""""""

Activating *WPf2b* Premium creates two database tables:

* ``wp_fail2ban_log``
* ``wp_fail2ban_plugins``

*WPf2b* Premium never drops the database tables - it's your data.
