Configure WAF Policies

 

  • A firewall policy is a collection of firewall rules designed to filter traffic for a website. Firewall policies protect the site from a vast range of internet threats, including SQL injections, bot traffic and more.
  • cWatch ships with built-in rules for the web application firewall (WAF) which provide the highest levels of protection for your website.
  • There are several types of WAF policy, each with a set of constituent rules. You can enable or disable rules as required.
  • You can create custom rulesif required. See Manage Custom Firewall Rules if you want to learn about this.

Configure WAF settings

  • Open the cWatch dashboard
  • Select the target website from the menu at top-left
  • Click the 'Firewall' tab
  • Click 'Settings' to open the 'WAF Settings' page




  • Use the switch beside 'WAF Status' to enable or disable the firewall:




Note - If you disable WAF protection then all firewall policies and rules are deactivated, including custom rules. See Manage Custom Firewall Rules for more on rules.
