Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Papy3D WAF

The first runtime installation remains an explicit administrator action. After the WAF has been activated successfully, plugin updates do not require a visit to the status page. The external loader keeps the last validated runtime active while the updated plugin schedules a deferred reconciliation. A new runtime is compiled in the inactive slot, tested through an exact signed loopback probe, and activated atomically only after validation. On failure, the previous loader and runtime stay active and a bounded retry is scheduled.

No. It cannot stop traffic before PHP, static-file requests, or volumetric denial-of-service attacks.

No. An unknown owner is never overwritten. Security Guard integration is used only when its public protocol-1.0 connector satisfies the minimum supported plugin and connector versions.

No. It records matching rules without blocking or banning.

Create or open an IP custom list in Cloudflare, choose Upload CSV, and select the file generated by the “Malicious IPs” tab. The file intentionally has no header and contains one exact IPv4 or IPv6 address per line followed by an optional description. Review the candidates before using the list in a blocking rule.

A stored IPv4 /24 or IPv6 /64 network cannot be converted back to the original visitor address. Exporting it could block an entire network, so the plugin requires exact-IP storage for new candidates. Historical obfuscation remains irreversible.

Create a Cloudflare API token restricted to the target account with the Account Filter Lists: Edit permission, then save the account ID and token in the “Malicious IPs” tab. Select an existing list of type IP. The existing append button remains manual and unchanged. A separate disabled-by-default option can append an exact IP automatically after either a cumulative threshold or a rolling burst threshold is reached. Both paths reload the remote list, skip exact duplicates and IPs already covered by a remote CIDR, verify the local 10,000-entry safety ceiling, and submit only new entries. A separate explicitly confirmed action can clear all items while preserving the remote list object and any WAF rule that references it. The selected list must already be referenced by a Cloudflare blocking rule; the plugin does not create or modify that rule.
