FAQ
-
Will this plugin slow down my site?
-
No. The WAF runs lightweight pattern matching on incoming requests. The performance overhead is negligible on any modern server.
-
Will XML-RPC protection break the WordPress mobile app?
-
Yes. If you use the official WordPress mobile app or services that rely on XML-RPC (such as Jetpack), leave XML-RPC protection disabled. Only enable it if you do not use any XML-RPC-dependent services.
-
Can I whitelist my own IP address?
-
IP whitelisting is planned for a future release. Currently, all requests are subject to the same firewall rules.
-
What file extensions are blocked by the upload scanner?
-
The scanner blocks server-executable extensions including PHP variants (php, php3, php4, php5, php7, php8, phtml, pht, phar), ASP variants, shell scripts (sh, bash, csh), CGI scripts (cgi, pl, py, rb), and compiled executables (exe, dll, bat, cmd). Standard image, document, and media files are unaffected.
-
How do I report a security vulnerability in this plugin?
-
Please report security issues responsibly by emailing the author via https://oosoft.co.in. Do not open a public issue.
-
Is this plugin compatible with multisite?
-
Single-site operation is fully supported. Multisite compatibility is planned for a future release.
