The cPFence Central Dashboard is Here – One Panel. Full Power.

cPFence

Hey Everyone,

We’ve just launched the new cPFence WebUI, and it’s a game-changer. You can now manage all your servers and WordPress sites from one powerful dashboard — bulk security, bulk actions, malware scans, and WordPress hardening, all in a few clicks.

Fully browser-based, mobile-ready, and packed with 60+ tools. Just enable it on your main CP, whitelist your IP, and you’re ready to roll.

Bulk WordPress Management is now built-in. Gone are the days of relying on tools like MainWP — welcome true cluster-level control, directly from your security panel. You can now manage your entire infrastructure from your smartphone or tablet. Yes, real-time malware scanning , security & WordPress management from your favorite café or your comfy couch.

All the features can be run on a single server, across your entire cluster, or just on selected sites — your choice, full control!

This is the start of a new development cycle for our team, where new bulk tools will be coming your way soon.

cPFence nice, but I thought you said you will not do it? You would wait for enhance? Or is this something different than we talked about?

cPFence How well secured the webui? On which servers is it running. What would happened if someone get access to webui servers?

cPFence can't access the webui, did everything as per instructions, the command you mentioned cpfence --add-webui-ip doesn't work, it says unknown option for --add-webui-ip somehow..

You need to update to the latest version first.

Just run:
cpfence --update

pratik_asabe

cPFence yes, later i realized that, doing update clusterwide now!

Yes, we changed our plans since it's one of the most requested features, we get tickets about it every day. Hope you find it useful.

sikmo

cPFence very much so 😃 now I am really considering buying it for us 😃 already posted it in internal slack to figure out integration 😃 good choice

We’re sure you’ll love it. You can start your free trial with zero obligations , it’s way more than just security, it’s like cluster management on steroids.

Tested it and it works so good! No issues in getting it up and running 🙂

Glad you liked it. My team and I are enjoying doing admin tasks on the go now using mobile , we love it!

If you’ve got any ideas for new bulk tools to add to cPFence, let us know , we’re always eager for fresh ideas.

On a side note, we’ve had a few tickets asking if it’s possible to block real visitor IPs using the WAF (a feature recently added by other products). This is already possible in cPFence:

Just add the IPs to:
nano /opt/cpfence/app/cpfwaf/userdata_bl_IPs

This works even if the site is behind Cloudflare, since cPFence extracts the real visitor IP from the Cloudflare headers before applying the WAF rules.

Troubleshooting Common Issues with the new cPFence WebUI

marvine

Installed it with no problems many thanks !
Question i see some features spefic for open litespeed is this something you guys can do / make or already have a configuration variable for maybe ?

Customisations made in OpenLiteSpeed admin panel will persist when updates are made to the website/vhost through the Enhance panel. This mirrors the existing functionality for commercial Litespeed.

cPFence

marvine

You’re welcome. cPFence gives you tools to install, configure, and manage LiteSpeed-related features across all your servers in bulk. For keeping your settings persistent, you can use the cPFence Freeze free tool as a workaround.

Jordan

What's the overhead? Have you fix the malware scanning spikes yet, have you considered using cpulimit?

cPFence

Jordan

As I mentioned before, we haven’t received any reports of consistent scanning spikes. If you can reliably replicate it, feel free to drop us a ticket and we’ll take a look.
