This open-source 7G Firewall provides lightweight protection for your server from malicious requests alongside bots, automated attacks, and other security threats.
The installation process of the 7G Firewall on your WordPress website requires following this detailed guide.
How to install the 7G Firewall on your WordPress website
Start by downloading the 7G Firewall from Perishable Press’s official website. The download package has a .txt file that provides all the necessary .htaccess rules.
Review the firewall rules.
Open the .txt file on your computer. These firewall rules prevent malicious user agents, spam, and other security threats. When you utilize a tool such as Ahrefs, you must exclude its specific rule to avoid being blocked.
Access your hosting control panel
Enter your Client Area on kiravo.net to begin the login process. Open Services and select your hosting service. Then, click Log in to access the hosting control panel.
Add the rules to your .htaccess file
Go to the Files section.
This action will open the File Manager. Navigate to the public_html directory.
Locate and open the .htaccess file for editing by double-clicking.
Paste the 7G firewall rules
Copy all the rules from the 7G Firewall .txt file and paste them in your .htaccess file at the beginning of the document.
For example:
# 7G FIREWALL RULES START
... [rules from the 7G txt file] ...
# 7G FIREWALL RULES ENDUse the Save button in your file editor to commit changes to the .htaccess file. Your next step is to visit your website to check if everything functions properly.
After making custom changes to allow specific services like Ahrefs, you should test these tools to confirm they have access.
That’s it! The website benefits from stronger security protections since the 7G Firewall has become operational.
