The remote settings<\/strong> connect the plugin to the Cisilino panel. The connection is optional: without it the plugin still protects your site. In this chapter you will see how to fill in the tab, what travels to the panel, and what you must avoid.<\/p>\n

Where it is<\/h2>\n

In the WordPress side bar open Settings<\/strong> and then \u201cCisilino Site Defense Network\u201d (point 1 in the image). Click the \u201cRemote settings\u201d tab (point 2). Below it you’ll find two sections: the \u201cPanel connection status\u201d box (point 3) and the \u201cPanel connection\u201d form (point 4).<\/p>\n

What it’s for<\/h2>\n

The plugin counts failed logins and blocks IPs locally, in the .htaccess<\/code> file. If you connect it to the panel, every 15 minutes it sends the panel the IPs that have failed a login. In return it receives the list of IPs already banned for your customer account and blocks them on your site too.<\/p>\n

If you leave the remote settings empty, the plugin makes no external calls at all. It keeps counting attempts and blocking IPs on the site. The diagram of its protections is in chapter 1, the index of the manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to fill in the remote settings<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. In the panel, open Settings \u203a Audit Services and look for the \u201cAPI keys \u2014 Cisilino Site Defense Network\u201d section. This is where the panel generates the key.<\/li>\n
  2. Go back to WordPress, to the section at point 4. Fill in \u201cCustomer code\u201d.<\/li>\n
  3. Paste the \u201cAPI key\u201d. The field is a password field: you won’t see what you type.<\/li>\n
  4. Write the \u201cPanel URL\u201d, for example https:\/\/panel.example.com<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  5. Set, if you want, the \u201cLocal block threshold (failed attempts)\u201d. I cover this in chapter 4<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Choose the \u201cSecurity level (IP list from the panel)\u201d.<\/li>\n
  7. Click \u201cSave and verify connection\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The settings are always saved, even if the check then fails. The exception is an http URL, which blocks the entire save (see below). You don’t have to rewrite everything to fix a typo. The result of the check appears in the box at point 3, labelled \u201cLast check\u201d together with the date. It is green if everything is fine, red if something is wrong.<\/p>\n

    The security levels<\/h2>\n

    The \u201cSecurity level (IP list from the panel)\u201d field offers four options.<\/p>\n
