Usage
<h3>Automatic IP Synchronization</h3>
 The plugin automatically syncs blocked IPs based on your configured cron interval. IPs exceeding the Blocked Hits Threshold are added to Cloudflare’s firewall or acted upon based on your defined rules. 
<h3>Manual Synchronization</h3>
 Navigate to Settings > ProActive Security Suite and click the Run Process button to trigger synchronization and rule evaluation immediately. 
<h3>Captured Traffic Data (Premium)</h3>
 Access detailed logs under the Captured Traffic Data tab. Analyze user agents, request methods, and more. Exclude specific user roles from logging in the settings. 
<h3>Advanced Rule Builder (Premium)</h3>
 The plugin features a powerful Rule Builder that allows you to create custom security rules based on various criteria. You can define rules using conditions such as: 
<ul>
<li>Confidence Score: Set thresholds using operators like greater than, less than, equal to, etc.</li>
<li>Is Whitelisted: Check if an IP is marked as whitelisted in AbuseIPDB.</li>
<li>Is Abusive: Determine if an IP is associated with abusive behavior.</li>
<li>Custom Criteria: Add other criteria based on the data captured.</li>
</ul>
 Each rule can be assigned an Action (e.g., Block, Managed Challenge) that will be applied to IPs matching the rule. You can also assign a Priority to control the order in which rules are evaluated. 
<h3>Rule Details in Blocked IPs (Premium)</h3>
 The Blocked IPs tab now includes a Rule Details column that displays comprehensive information about the rules that caused IPs to be blocked. This includes: 
<ul>
<li>Criteria: The specific conditions that were met, such as confidence score thresholds, whitelisted status, and more.</li>
<li>Action: The action taken by the rule (e.g., Block, Managed Challenge).</li>
</ul>
 This enhancement allows administrators to easily identify which rules are triggering blocks and understand the reasons behind each IP being blocked. It provides greater transparency and aids in fine-tuning security settings. 
Advanced Settings
<ul>
<li>Blocked Hits Threshold: Define the minimum number of blocked hits before an IP is synchronized or evaluated by rules.</li>
<li>Block Scope: Choose between domain-specific or account-wide blocking.</li>
<li>Block Mode: Select the action for Cloudflare to take (e.g., Block, Challenge).</li>
<li>Cron Interval: Set how frequently the plugin checks for new blocked IPs and evaluates rules.</li>
<li>Rule Priorities: Assign priorities to your rules to control the order of evaluation. Higher priority numbers are evaluated first.</li>
<li>User Role Exclusions: Exclude specific WordPress user roles from traffic logging and rule evaluation.</li>
</ul>
Frequently Asked Questions
<h3>How do I obtain my Cloudflare Zone ID and Account ID?</h3>
 Zone ID: Log into Cloudflare, select your domain, and find the Zone ID on the Overview page. Account ID: Click on your profile in Cloudflare; the Account ID is listed there. 
<h3>Can I use an API Token instead of the Global API Key?</h3>
 Yes, ensure the API Token has the necessary permissions for firewall access. 
<h3>Is the plugin compatible with IPv6 addresses?</h3>
 Absolutely, the plugin supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. 
<h3>How does the plugin handle my API keys?</h3>
 All API keys are securely stored using WordPress’s options API and are never exposed in plain text. 
<h3>How do rule priorities work?</h3>
 Rule priorities determine the order in which your rules are evaluated. Rules with higher priority numbers are evaluated first. If traffic data matches a rule, the corresponding action is applied, and no further rules are evaluated for that IP address. 
<h3>Can I see which rule blocked an IP?</h3>
 Yes, with the Rule Details in Blocked IPs feature, you can view the exact rule criteria and action that caused an IP to be blocked. This information is displayed in the Blocked IPs tab under the Rule Details column. 
<h3>How does the automatic action application work?</h3>
 When traffic data is captured, the plugin immediately evaluates it against your defined rules. If a rule matches, the specified action is applied to the IP address without any manual intervention.

Proactive Security Suite

Welcome to the ProActive Security Suite Plugin Wiki      Enhance your WordPress website's security with the ProActive Security Suite.

Roice

An extremely simple plugin that disables login verification emails sent by Wordfence when Google reCAPTCHA is enabled. No settings, no bloat — just activate and it works.
This plugin disables the “Login Verification Required” email notifications that Wordfence sends when using Google reCAPTCHA on the login page.

There are no settings and no configuration needed. Just install, activate, and it works immediately.
Perfect for managed hosting environments where modifying the <code>functions.php</code> file is not feasible or safe.
