Feature
Firewall counters — Shows how many requests were stopped early by the Spam Firewall (today, last 7 days, total).
How it works
When Firewall pre-check is enabled, AegisSpamGuard evaluates bot-like traffic early and can challenge or block before normal page processing, reducing server load.
How to access / enable
- WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard
- Review “Firewall counters”.
- Click “View Firewall” to open the Firewall log stream.
Recommended setting
Recommended: Enable firewall after you’ve configured allowlists and thresholds.
Firewall is powerful; correct allowlisting prevents accidental friction for trusted services and users.
Why you need this
Admins use this to demonstrate performance and protection value—blocking bots early reduces CPU and unwanted traffic.
