Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ReqLock

No. With the master switch OFF the plugin is completely inert. Even when ON, your own domain and its subdomains are always allowed.

Any time you want to cut the site off from external services: during an internet outage/restriction, to stop slow third-party calls from dragging down load times, to strip trackers for privacy, or to take a staging/local copy fully offline while you develop.

Yes — that's a core use case. Turn the master switch ON and the install stops reaching out to WordPress.org, analytics, license servers, fonts, and other remote hosts. Your local or staging site then loads and behaves the same with the network unplugged, and never fires tracking or phone-home calls from a non-production copy.

Yes. The output filter runs as the outermost output buffer, so it also filters cached page views (tested with full-page cache plugins).

Server-side request blocking applies everywhere (which makes the admin faster when the network is down). Browser-side HTML sanitizing runs on the front-end by default; you can optionally enable it for wp-admin too.

Add its host to the Allow-list. The Detected-hosts panel lists everything ReqLock sees, so you can copy hosts from there.

Standalone scripts that use raw curl/file_get_contents outside WordPress are not interceptable by a plugin and must guard their own external calls.
