Btw, what is cPFence downloading every hour? Seems to add up to about 2.5GB per server per day. Not huge or anything, but would it be possible to make this once a day or so? Or would there be potential downsides to that?

Thanks for that. I agree with the hourly IPDB updates for sure. For the virus signatures I feel once a day would be fine if that saves like 80% of the incoming bandwidth every hour, but it's certainly not a big deal, especially since they don't take up extra space.
It's just that when looking out for issues/bugs due to the V12 updates, everything that's odd stands out suddenly, so that's why I asked.

So I just discovered that I opened cpfence --ui on all of the servers in my cluster. Coincidently I lost internet for couple of mins and I lost connection to all of my terminal sessions. Then I left it as is. After few hours, I found that all of my servers are showing a high CPU usage. When I ran the top command, I found a process with command "dialog" running on all servers is consuming 100% CPU. Is it cpfence UI? Because none of my servers are having anything related to dialog on it. @cPFence
The UI CPU usage is usually close to zero. Please open a ticket so we can check it out for you.
MDG There's already a bulk plugin install option!
cpfence --bulk-install-wp-plugin
bluelinq-computers basically intalling via plugin zips.
Yes, you can already bulk install a plugin by searching for the plugin slug, using a URL with the plugin zip file, or specifying a path on the server with the plugin zip file.

- Enhanced the Admin UI to better handle scenarios where users get disconnected or close the terminal with no clean exit, ensuring improved performance and stability during sessions.
