Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cisilino Site Defense Network

No. As soon as it's activated, it already detects failed login attempts and blocks IPs that exceed the threshold in .htaccess, with no configuration needed.

The plugin keeps working normally, locally only: it detects and blocks on its own, without exchanging or sending anything externally.

They are generated by the Cisilino Site Defense Network panel your site

Only if you explicitly configure a panel: in that case the attempted IPs and usernames (never passwords) are sent to the panel you configured yourself. See the "External services" section for full details.

IP blocking writes rules into .htaccess, so it requires Apache (or LiteSpeed in compatible mode). Detection and panel-side management remain available regardless; only the actual server-level block requires Apache.

All rules written to .htaccess (IP blocking, hardening) are removed: a deactivated plugin must not keep enforcing rules you can no longer see or manage. Reactivating it restores everything exactly as it was: no data is lost on deactivation.
