How to activate the Application Security Firewall

How to activate the Application Security Firewall

In the cdmon control panel you can activate or deactivate the application Firewall and view the graph showing the neutralized attack attempts.
To activate it, you must access the hosting management section, under 'Security', and enter the Firewall section. 
 
 
 1.-Web Application Firewall (WAF) 
The Web Application Firewall is a program that detects unauthorized actions on your website. If it is enabled, your hosting account will be more secure against possible attacks.
It is recommended to keep it enabled to prevent your hosting from being more vulnerable. To activate it, click on the Disabled option.



2.-Attack attempts on 'mydomain' 
Once the firewall is activated, on the same screen you will see the section 'Attack attempts on', where you can view a graph showing the attack attempts your hosting account has received over the last 15 days and the number of neutralized attacks. In this section you can also view the error logs by clicking on the View error log option.



3.-Network Firewall 
The Network Firewall is a defense system that, in case of an attack, blocks the IP across the entire cdmon user network.
