    Hi,
    I am on a litespeed server and get this message after optimizing the firewall:
    The changes have not yet taken effect. If you are using LiteSpeed or IIS as your web server or CGI/FastCGI interface, you may need to wait a few minutes for the changes to take effect since the configuration files are sometimes cached. You also may need to select a different server configuration in order to complete this step, but wait for a few minutes before trying. You can try refreshing this page

    After I refresh the page the optimize button is gone and it says ‘Remove extended protection’. Does this mean that the firewall is successfully optimized?
    Thanks

    Hello @wzshop and thanks for reaching out to us!

    If you’re seeing the “Remove Extended Protection” button, then you have successfully optimized the firewall!

    Make sure to change your WAF status on that page to “Enabled and Protecting” Mode as well!

    Thanks again!

    Hi, thanks

    Make sure to change your WAF status on that page to “Enabled and Protecting” Mode as well!

    That will happen automatically after 1 week right?
    Thanks
