cPFence This is amazing. I ran into an issue a little while ago and reached out to my then security provider about ASN block, but they were not able to offer it at the time. Great job on this. Also, would it be possible to include an email notification when an IP is temporarily or permanently blocked due to DDOS or connection issues? Maybe this could be an option we can toggle on or off. It could help to keep track of which ASN or IPs might be sending too many connections, and nice to stay aware when something like this happens.
cPFence UI is Here – Security Management, Now with a Mouse!
Yeah, ASN blocking can be really useful for handling DDoS attacks, it at least gives you a fighting chance, especially with the rise of IPv6-based attacks. cPFence is proud to be the first in the hosting industry to offer this level of protection. While other security products might require workarounds or lack proper IPv6 support, with cPFence, it’s as simple as adding the ASN code, and you're all set.
As for notifications, we skipped them because on a busy server, they would end up sending hundreds of emails daily, which could get overwhelming. But we might explore making it more manageable, like a daily summary or something similar.
Version 3.3.42 (12th March 2025)
Added
- Automatic IP Whitelisting on Main Control Panel Server:
cPFence will now automatically whitelist all your server IPs on your main control panel server, ensuring secure and seamless communication.
Note: This feature is available only if cPFence is installed on the main control panel.
- Quick Whitelisting for Secondary Servers:
For secondary servers, use the following script to whitelist all your server IPs across your cluster:
bash <(curl -ks https://api.cpfence.app/whitelist_your_ips.sh)
Why is this important? Starting with Enhance v12, DNS servers listen on IPv6 by default, and cPFence protections now extend to IPv6. Proper IP whitelisting ensures smooth operations and security across all servers.
Improved
- Enhanced "Under Attack Mode" with smarter security actions for even better DDoS protection.
- Improved cPFence compatibility with widely used WordPress plugins and themes.
Version 3.3.43 (13th March 2025)
Improved
Optimized log analysis for large-scale attacks:
Enhanced the logs analysis module to reduce CPU usage when "Under Attack Mode" is active during high-volume DDoS attacks.MonitorPro Module now uses a custom referrer and user agent:
MonitorPro now identifies itself with a dedicated user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; cPFence MonitorPro; +https://cpfence.app/)
- Helps bypass third-party protections that may block uptime checkers.
- Allows easy whitelisting of "cPFence MonitorPro" user agent in Cloudflare and similar security services.
General fixes and improvements:
Several enhancements and optimizations across various helper and bulk tools.
Just leaving a short message to say that these guys are amazing. Super-quick support and great product!

Hey everyone,
We're excited to share a first look at the most requested feature you've all been asking for, the new cPFence browser-based WebUI. This modern interface lets you manage all your servers from one convenient place, and it's currently in active development.
Below are two real screenshots from the current beta:
We're still in the early stages, but development is moving fast. If all goes well, we're aiming for release in about 40 days.
Quick highlights:
- Runs on your main control panel server using a custom port.
- Lightweight and fast.
- Manage all servers at once or individually, want to scan a specific server? Done. Bulk block XML-RPC or install the LiteSpeed WordPress plugin across all servers? Also done.
- Fully GDPR-compliant. No external connections, your data stays securely on your servers. It's your data, your privacy.
- Built on our custom API to fully leverage cPFence’s powerful bulk tools (beyond what's possible with Enhance API alone).
- Secured with strong password protection and IP whitelisting, only allowed addresses can access the panel.
- Off by default, no installation required. Just flip the switch, and you're ready to go.
With this WebUI combined with our bulk tools, cPFence becomes much more than a security solution, it's a full-stack upgrade to how you manage and secure your servers.
If you're still on the fence, now is the perfect time to jump in before prices go up. Existing clients have their current pricing locked in, we appreciate you, early adopters!
Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted with more updates soon.

cPFence Wow. This looks great! Looking forward to using this ASAP!
cPFence Looking forward to this!
@cPFence I tried to buy, but I only see PayPal as a payment option, so I couldn’t finish. I also tried to contact you through your billing panel, but it only asks me to activate a plan. That’s why I’m reaching out here. Even though I’m logged in, it says “No accounts found,” maybe because I don’t have a paid plan.
How can I get cpfence?
How can I access web ui?
