Sucuri Protected Pages: A Guide to Activation and Setup

Sucuri Firewall protects websites from hacks, DDoS attacks, and vulnerabilities by hardening web servers and patching known vulnerabilities, ensuring faster website load.

a) How do I enable protected pages in Sucuri Firewall Protection ?

1. First, log into Sucuri Firewall Protection and go to the Protected Pages settings.

2. Next, add the page you want to protect, like “/wp-login.php” or “/admin“.

3. Finally, select the desired authentication method and click on the “Protect Page” button.

Note:

• The WAF will re-prompt the challenge after 30 days, except for the IP restriction option, once the user authenticates access.
• Authentication is cookie-based, prompting a Protected Page challenge if accessed from different browsers or cleared cookies. You can force re-authentication by deleting and re-adding protected pages.
• The password protection feature generates a random password, which cannot be customized, but you can request a new password at any time on the dashboard.
• Adding your website’s root directory (/) to protected pages may disrupt the Let’s Encrypt SSL issuance and renewal process.
