To manage the Web Application Firewall (WAF) through cPFence, it’s important to know how to manage it through the WebUI tools or CLI.
Using the WebUI
- Open the cPFence WebUI on your Main Control Panel server and go to WAF Management.
- Under WAF Controls, click Bot Protection for Domain.
- Enter your domain (e.g.,
a.com) and click the corresponding button.
This only disables auto-protection — you can still use your own custom blacklist/whitelist in this mode:
-
Bots:
-
Blacklist:
nano /opt/cpfence/app/cpfwaf/userdata_bl_agents -
Whitelist:
nano /opt/cpfence/app/cpfwaf/userdata_wl_agents
-
CLI Options
cpfence --enable-bot-protection-domain DOMAIN
cpfence --disable-bot-protection-domain DOMAINReplace DOMAIN with your actual domain name.
