The service is designed to be compatible with most hosting servers and can be easily installed using PHP. As PHP is widely used across the web, with most of websites (as of May 2023) utilizing it, most hosting environments either have PHP installed or offer support for it. This includes popular applications such as “Prestashop,” “Magento,” “Drupal,” “Joomla,” “WordPress,” “WooCommerce,” “OpenCart,” and many others, which are predominantly built on PHP.
Even if your website primarily consists of static HTML pages, or if you use other programming languages like ASP or Python, as long as your hosting provider supports PHP, you should be able to take advantage of our solution. PHP provides the necessary foundation for integrating our service with your web application, regardless of the specific technologies used. Users should note that our support is exclusively for clients utilizing our plugins on PHP native servers.

In case, the proficiency scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 signifies minimal skill requirements, and 10 denotes an advanced level of expertise for managing a WAF.

No, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) is not the same as an anti-virus software. While both aim to enhance website security, they serve different purposes.
A WAF primarily acts as a protective barrier between a web application and potential threats. It analyzes incoming traffic, filters out malicious requests, and blocks common attack patterns such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and more. Its goal is to prevent attacks from compromising the website’s security and data.
On the other hand, an anti-virus software is designed to detect and remove various types of malware, viruses, and malicious software that may already be present on a computer or network. It focuses on scanning and identifying harmful files or programs and eliminating them to prevent further damage. Read more on wikipedia.

If someone has to choose only one solution between a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and an anti-virus software for website security, the choice depends on the specific needs and circumstances. However, in most cases, having a WAF would be more crucial for protecting a web application.
A WAF provides proactive security measures by analyzing and filtering incoming traffic, blocking potential attacks, and protecting against common vulnerabilities. It can help prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and application-layer attacks like SQL injections and XSS.
While an anti-virus software is essential for protecting individual computers and networks from malware, viruses, and other malicious software, its focus is primarily on the client-side protection. It may not be as effective in safeguarding the web application itself.
Considering the nature of web applications and the increasing prevalence of online threats, investing in a reliable WAF can provide a stronger defense against web-based attacks and ensure the security of the application and its data.

If a provider claims to offer a Web Application Firewall (WAF) but primarily provides features that are more aligned with anti-virus functionality, it may raise some concerns about their understanding of website security and their ability to effectively protect web applications. While some overlapping features between a WAF and anti-virus software can exist, the primary focus and purpose of a WAF should be on web application security.
It is important to carefully evaluate the capabilities and features provided by the WAF solution as a protection and prevention not as actions which could be made after a website has been hacked.

The Free package ends only if there is more than 30 days of inactive requests which could be the result of the domain name or the hosting package not renewed or anything else, and if you do not upgrade to a higher plan, Website Firewall will no longer consider your ruleset and will allow all ip requests, and your web application will no longer be protected by our solution.
