ConfigServer Services Blog

We have created a ModSecurity Vendor that you can now use to import the cxs ModSecurity rules. To use this new feature you need to:

1. Remove the cxs ModSecurity rule block from /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2.user.conf

2. Use the inbuilt cPanel ModSecurity Vendor Rules mechanism by either:

a) WHM > ModSecurity Vendors > Add Vendor > Vendor Configuration URL:

https://download.configserver.com/waf/meta_configserver.yaml

Save and then restart httpd

or

b) Issue the following commands:

/scripts/modsec_vendor add https://download.configserver.com/waf/meta_configserver.yaml
/scripts/modsec_vendor enable configserver

Then restart httpd

You can have the ConfigServer Vendor enabled along with any other Vendor that you may already be using.

Our recent decision to no longer accept PayPal Donation payments is two-fold:

1. We were starting to get a large number of “fake” donations, presumably from compromised PayPal accounts which were subsequently contested (No, we don’t get it either!). This cost us not only in time, but also in money for each payment refunded.

2. We have been aware of a change in PayPal’s policy on using the “Donate” button and accepting donations. This change means that accumulated donations over $10,000 requires that an accepting account is a verifiable non-profit organisation:

While we’re not near that figure yet, we have been in business for a long time so we have had to make the disappointing decision to stop accepting donations for our free products.

We do know that many people want to keep supporting us in our development of our products, so we will look into alternatives. For now we have cancelled all subscription payments and will no longer accept future PayPal donations.

We do sincerely appreciate everyone who has donated to us in the past to help continued development in our free products.
