No external calls mode (privacy-first master toggle)

Feature

No external calls (master toggle) — Disables outbound HTTP calls so the plugin runs fully local-first.

How it works

When enabled, AegisSpamGuard skips external disposable list fetches, external reputation, and optional geo providers that require downloads/calls (depending on your configuration).

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
  2. Privacy defaults
  3. Enable “No external calls”.

Recommended setting

Recommended: ON for strict privacy / offline environments.

This ensures no data leaves the site and removes network dependency.

Why you need this

Admins with privacy constraints or locked-down hosting can still run strong anti-spam without SaaS.
