      Custom text messages for Security FireWall Block Page

      We’re glad to introduce the new feature of our Security Extra Package.

      When you use Personal Black Lists (including blocking by country) users see a default message “This is the testing page for Security FireWall” but now you can change it. The message can include your email or phone number. In that case, you can collect data about the reasons for false positives.

      How to create a custom message

      Step 1: Go to your Dashboard => Security. Select your website and click on Settings.

      Step2: Scroll down to Message for forbidden visitors and check it. After that you can type any text you want including emails and phone numbers. When finished just press the Update button.

      That’s it! Your custom message is enabled and updated. After about 10 minutes you can take a look at your Security FireWall block page.

      How to preview your block page

      Step 1: Go to Dashboard => Security => Your website Settings (exactly like it was described above). Then click on Testing Security FireWall.

      Step 2: After that, your Security FireWall testing page will appear. Here you can preview your custom message and edit it if needed.

      New feature in Website Security FireWall Log

      Your website is regularly visited by different bots. The “bad” ones are blocked by your Security FireWall before they even reach your website, but what happens with the “good” ones like Google, Bing, and MSN? From now you can use Security FireWall Log to find out, what ”good“ bot visit your site and how many actions they provide there.

      What exact information can you get:

      • Date
      • Website
      • URL of visited website
      • Bot IP
      • Hostname (in case it can be defined)
      • Browser used by bot
      • Bot country
      • Quantity of requests (hits)
      • FireWall result

      How it works

      Step 1: Go to your Security Dashboard. Choose “Site Security” in the “Services” menu.

      Step 2: Go to your Security FireWall Log:

      In order to find information about some specific bot just type in the name of it (or part of the name).

      From that page, you may decide whether you want to block one of these bots or not.
