Hello!

First of all, I want to compliment you for your website. I think it's important to have a visually appealing website, and it made me stay on it for as long as I did. The only thing I noticed was that the fieldsets on the right of the forum registration page were overlapping the content area.

Secondly, I have a few questions:

1. I don't really understand how this firewallscript works. I read somewhere that it can protect any PHP script. I don't really understand that. Is it used just for blocking things like PHP injection attacks, etc. or does it actually serve as a front-end for managing iptables?

2. How is FWS on server resources?

3. Would there be any possible conflicts with cPanel/WHM?

4. What actually happens when FWS blocks a request and how does the DoS protection work?

5. Does it work with suphp?

It works off of a configurable rule-set, so you can tell it to block union in the query string, block javascript in posted content, block PHP injection attacks - whatever you can think of.



This is a harder question to answer, as it would depend upon how many and which rules you have configured. Generally speaking though you shouldn't run into any resource issues.



Nothing I can think of comes to mind



When a request is "blocked" you can tell FWS to show a generic error page, show an error page telling the user why they were blocked, execute a php script, show a CAPTCHA image verification, show a generic HTML block, redirect to a predefined page, or even just allow the request (i.e. if you just want to log certain things).



Yup
