ModSecurity Security Rules

Updated over 6 months ago

To check the active and inactive rules of a website, click on the Active Security rules section.

Here you can see the information of which rule has been triggered for which IP address, and you can deactivate those rules if necessary.

Disable Security Rules

To disable a rule, click on Disable. Note that you should only deactivate rules that have been triggered for your own IP address.

If you also disable security rules for other IP addresses, this could pose a security risk. Modern websites use plugins and APIs (application programming interface). These can trigger ModSecurity security rules. So if you are going to work on your website for a long time, it is better to deactivate ModSecurity for a few hours.

As soon as the rule has been deactivated, it appears under Inactive Rules. If necessary, it can be reactivated by clicking on Enable.
