Title: TrapFlux Request Firewall Author: susheelhbti Published: ಜೂನ್ 18, 2026 Last modified: ಜೂನ್ 18, 2026 --- ಪ್ಲಗಿನ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಿ ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/trapflux-request-firewall.svg) # TrapFlux Request Firewall ‍[susheelhbti](https://profiles.wordpress.org/susheelhbti/) ಮೂಲಕ [ಡೌನ್ಲೋಡ್](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/trapflux-request-firewall.zip) * [ವಿವರಗಳು](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/trapflux-request-firewall/#description) * [‍ವಿಮರ್ಶೆಗಳು‍](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/trapflux-request-firewall/#reviews) * [ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆ](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/trapflux-request-firewall/#installation) * [ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/trapflux-request-firewall/#developers) [ಬೆಂಬಲ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/trapflux-request-firewall/) ## ವಿವರಣೆ TrapFlux Request Firewall is a lightweight request firewall that blocks vulnerability scanners and bot floods by **how they behave**, not just where they come from. * **Behavior-based blocking** — exploit-path probes (`.env`, `wp-config` backups,`. sql` dumps), malicious user agents, and request floods. * **Rate limiting** — every visitor is rate limited; hits on exploit paths count double, so scanners get banned far faster than real visitors ever could. * **Honeypot traps** — invisible links only bots follow; one visit means a permanent ban. * **Subnet bans** — block a whole CIDR range (e.g. `20.100.172.0/24`) when attackers rotate IPs on cloud providers. * **Text attack reports** — one-click downloadable `.txt` reports (summary + raw log) listing every URL attackers tried to access, ready to hand to your hosting company. * **fail2ban-friendly log** — one pipe-delimited line per blocked request, so your host can ban attackers at the network level using the plugin’s detections. * **Fails open** — any internal error and your site keeps working normally. An emergency `disable.flag` file shuts blocking off instantly via FTP. #### Strongest mode (optional) By default the firewall runs when plugins load — before WP routing, themes and queries. For maximum resource savings you can point PHP’s `auto_prepend_file` at `firewall. php` so blocking happens before WordPress loads at all. See the FAQ. #### Honest limitations * This is a request firewall, not a malware scanner — it will not detect an already- infected site. * It ships with rules for today’s common probes and has no cloud threat feed; review the rules occasionally. * The “Block xmlrpc.php” option breaks Jetpack and the WordPress mobile app — disable that single toggle if you use them. * All assets (CSS/JS) are bundled — the plugin makes no external network requests. ## ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆ 1. Upload the `trapflux-request-firewall` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the zip via Plugins Add New Upload. 2. Activate **TrapFlux Request Firewall**. Your current IP is auto-whitelisted on activation. 3. Open the **TrapFlux Request Firewall** menu in wp-admin for stats, logs, reports and settings. Data (config, bans, logs) is stored in `wp-content/uploads/trapflux-request-firewall/`. An `.htaccess` deny rule is written automatically (Apache). On NGINX add: ``` location ^~ /wp-content/uploads/trapflux-request-firewall/ { deny all; } ``` ## FAQ ### How do I enable blocking before WordPress loads? Set PHP’s `auto_prepend_file` to the engine, in `.user.ini` (most shared hosting) or `php.ini`: ``` auto_prepend_file = /full/path/to/wp-content/plugins/trapflux-request-firewall/firewall.php ``` Or in Apache `.htaccess` (mod_php): ``` php_value auto_prepend_file "/full/path/to/wp-content/plugins/trapflux-request-firewall/firewall.php" ``` The engine guards against double-loading, so having both is safe. ### I locked myself out. What do I do? Create an empty file named `disable.flag` inside `wp-content/uploads/trapflux-request- firewall/` via FTP or your host’s file manager. All blocking stops instantly. Delete the file to re-enable. ### Can my hosting company use the log with fail2ban? Yes. Each blocked request is one line in `wp-content/uploads/trapflux-request-firewall/ blocked.log`: ``` 2026-06-11 14:32:07 | 20.100.172.37 | GET /xmlrpc.php | UA: ... | BLOCKED: rate-limit ``` Suggested failregex: `^.* \| \| .* \| BLOCKED: .*$` ## ‍ವಿಮರ್ಶೆಗಳು‍ ಈ ಪ್ಲಗಿನ್‌ಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ವಿಮರ್ಶೆಗಳಿಲ್ಲ. ## ಕೊಡುಗೆದಾರರು & ಡೆವಲಪರ್‌ಗಳು “TrapFlux Request Firewall” ಓಪನ್ ಸೋರ್ಸ್ ಸಾಫ್ಟ್‌ವೇರ್ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಜನರು ಈ ಪ್ಲಗಿನ್‌ಗೆ ಕೊಡುಗೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕೊಡುಗೆದಾರರು * [ susheelhbti ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/susheelhbti/) [“TrapFlux Request Firewall” ಅನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಿ.](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/trapflux-request-firewall) ### ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಇದೆಯೇ?

Data directory now resolves exclusively via wp_upload_dir(); activation aborts with a clear message if that is unavailable, instead of guessing a path. #### 1.0.4 * Used wp_upload_dir() exclusively for data directory resolution; removed WP_CONTENT_DIR hardcode and dirname walk-up fallbacks. * Replaced custom SCRIPT_FILENAME direct-access guard with the standard ABSPATH check (plus TRAPFLUX_PREPEND_MODE constant for auto_prepend_file users). * Plugin activation now stores the resolved upload path in config.json so prepend- mode engine can locate its data without guessing. #### 1.0.3 * Renamed to TrapFlux Request Firewall with a distinctive trapflux_ prefix on all options, hooks, AJAX actions and constants. * Moved all data (config, bans, logs) to the uploads directory: wp-content/uploads/ trapflux-request-firewall/. * Sanitized all $_SERVER inputs at intake (user agent, IPs, request method, request URI). * Added a direct-access guard to the firewall engine file. #### 1.0.2 * Replaced Tailwind with a small handwritten stylesheet (~8 KB, prefixed classes, no build step, no framework). #### 1.0.1 * Replaced the Tailwind CSS CDN with a locally compiled stylesheet. The admin dashboard now makes zero external requests. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release: behavior-based blocking, rate limiting, honeypots, subnet bans, text reports, fail2ban-friendly logging, emergency off-switch. ## ಮೆಟಾ * Version **1.0.5** * ಕೊನೆಯದಾಗಿ ನವೀಕರಿಸಿದ್ದು **2 ವಾರಗಳು ರ ಮುನ್ನ** * ಸಕ್ರಿಯ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಗಳು **10 ಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಕಡಿಮೆ** * ವರ್ಡ್ಪ್ರೆಸ್ ಆವೃತ್ತಿ ** 5.8 ಅಥವಾ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನದು ** * **7.0** ವರೆಗೆ ಪರೀಕ್ಷಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ * PHP ಆವೃತ್ತಿ ** 7.2 ಅಥವಾ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನದು ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/trapflux-request-firewall/) * ಟ್ಯಾಗ್‌ಗಳು * [bot blocking](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/bot-blocking/)[firewall](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/firewall/) [honeypot](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/honeypot/)[rate limiting](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/rate-limiting/) [security](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/security/) * [ಸುಧಾರಿತ ನೋಟ](https://kn.wordpress.org/plugins/trapflux-request-firewall/advanced/) ## ರೇಟಿಂಗ್‌ಗಳು No reviews have been submitted yet.
