<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin optionally connects to the following third-party / external services. Each service is only contacted when its corresponding module is enabled and the described conditions are met.
<h4>Google reCAPTCHA (Google LLC)</h4>
What it is and what it is used for: 
Google reCAPTCHA is a bot-detection service. CoxWall uses it to protect the WordPress login, registration, lost-password, comment, and WooCommerce My Account forms from automated attacks.
What data is sent and when: 
When the CAPTCHA module is enabled, two types of requests are made to Google:
<ol>
<li>Front-end (page load) – the visitor’s browser loads the reCAPTCHA JavaScript library directly from Google’s CDN (<code>www.google.com</code>). Google receives the visitor’s IP address, browser and device information, and the site’s public reCAPTCHA site key.</li>
<li>Back-end (form submission) – when a visitor submits a protected form, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA response token, the site’s secret key, and the visitor’s IP address to Google’s verification endpoint (<code>www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify</code>) to confirm the response is valid.</li>
</ol>
No data is sent if the CAPTCHA module is disabled or if no reCAPTCHA site/secret key has been configured.
Service provider links: 
* Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms 
* Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy 
* reCAPTCHA-specific information: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha
<h4>WordPress.org Core Checksums API (WordPress.org)</h4>
What it is and what it is used for: 
The WordPress.org Checksums API provides official MD5 hashes for every file in each WordPress core release. CoxWall’s File Integrity module uses these hashes to detect unauthorized modifications to core files.
What data is sent and when: 
When a file integrity scan runs (manually triggered or on schedule), the plugin sends a GET request to <code>https://api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/1.0/</code> containing:
<ul>
<li>The installed WordPress version number.</li>
<li>The site’s configured locale/language.</li>
</ul>
No personal data, user data, or site content is transmitted. The request retrieves a publicly available checksum list.

SafeWeb

BotFirewall is a powerful and modern plugin designed to protect your WordPress site from malicious bots, spam, and DDoS attacks. Using advanced JavaScript verification and encrypted cookies, BotFirewall ensures robust security without disrupting the experience of real users.
<h3>Why Do You Need BotFirewall?</h3>
In today’s internet landscape, bots make up a significant portion of web traffic, and many of them are malicious. They can attack your site, send spam, scrape content, or attempt to hack login pages like <code>wp-login.php</code>. BotFirewall addresses these threats by providing smart and flexible protection that: 
– Blocks bots with seamless JavaScript verification that most bots cannot pass. 
– Secures key pages like <code>wp-login.php</code> and <code>wp-signup.php</code> from unauthorized access. 
– Uses encrypted cookies to ensure only verified users gain access. 
– Offers customizable settings through an intuitive interface in the WordPress admin panel.
<h3>Key Features of BotFirewall</h3>
<ul>
<li>JavaScript Verification: Ensures visitors can execute JavaScript, effectively filtering out most bots.</li>
<li>Encrypted Cookies: Cookies are tied to IP and User-Agent for enhanced security against spoofing.</li>
<li>Customizable Page Protection: Enable or disable protection for <code>wp-login.php</code> and <code>wp-signup.php</code> pages via settings.</li>
<li>Whitelist and Blacklist: Configure lists of allowed bots (e.g., Googlebot) and IPs, and block known malicious IPs, including subnet support (e.g., 192.168.0.0/24).</li>
<li>Exclude URLs: Specify URLs to bypass bot protection entirely (e.g., for APIs or specific pages).</li>
<li>Real-Time Statistics: Monitor bot activity with detailed stats – filter by time periods (Last 24 hours, Last Week, Last Month).</li>
<li>Action Logging: Logs blocks and successful verifications with URL details, keeping data for the last 30 days.</li>
<li>Allowed Bots Tab: Easily select known bots to allow without verification, with quick filters for bot types.</li>
<li>Recent Activity: View the latest 10 logged sessions with details like IP, URL, and status.</li>
<li>Lightweight and Fast: Optimized for minimal impact on site performance.</li>
<li>Clean Uninstall: Removes all data, including logs and settings, upon deactivation and deletion.</li>
<li>Customizable Verification Page: Tailor the text (title, description, countdown), CSS styling, and logo of the verification page to match your site’s design.</li>
<li>Enhanced Support: Get assistance directly through Live Chat in the Support tab for quick resolution of issues.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How Does BotFirewall Work?</h3>
BotFirewall employs a multi-layered protection system: 
1. Cookie Check: If a visitor has a valid cookie, they bypass additional checks. 
2. Whitelist: Known “good” bots (e.g., search engine crawlers) are automatically allowed. 
3. JavaScript Verification: If no cookie is present, the visitor is redirected to a verification page where they must execute a JavaScript request. Bots unable to run JavaScript are blocked. 
4. Login Page Protection: Optionally protect <code>wp-login.php</code> and <code>wp-signup.php</code> to prevent brute-force attacks. 
5. Post-Verification Redirect: After successful verification, the user is redirected to their original page, and a cookie is set for future visits.
<h3>Why BotFirewall is a Must-Have for Your Site</h3>
<ul>
<li>Spam and DDoS Protection: Effectively blocks bots that attempt to spam or overload your site.</li>
<li>Login Security: Safeguards <code>wp-login.php</code> and <code>wp-signup.php</code> from unauthorized access and brute-force attacks.</li>
<li>Flexibility: Customize protection with whitelists, blacklists, cookie lifetime settings, and verification page styling.</li>
<li>Transparency: Detailed statistics and logs let you monitor bot activity.</li>
<li>Ease of Use: A user-friendly interface in the WordPress admin panel makes configuration a breeze.</li>
<li>Professional Look: Customize the verification page with your own text, styles, logo, and a modern font (Roboto) for a polished appearance.</li>
<li>Reliable Support: Access our support team via Live Chat for help with any technical or security issues.</li>
