How to Configure Equipment for the L7 Protection Option?

After selecting a protected IP address, you will receive instructions describing the necessary settings and commands to execute them.

With these instructions, you will need to perform the following:

  • Add our outgoing addresses to the trusted list, removing restrictions;
  • Close access to ports 80 and 443 for all networks except local connections and connections from our serving networks;
  • Restart the web server;
  • Configure Nginx by modifying the configuration file;
  • Configure Apache by modifying the configuration file.

For IIS, you will need to follow the actions in the instructions.
