    I set up the firewall in the stock-standard way.
    “When you click the “Click here to configure” button, the setup page will detect the server configuration for your site.”
    All went well; but we have just changed the server from Apache to FastCGI. Im not sure if the firewall needs re-configuration and to re-do it’s Learning Period. Cant figure out how to do that even if i wanted too. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Nigel.

  • Hello electroset,
    on the Firewall page if you set the Firewall to “Enabled” does the text right above that selection say that you have “Basic” or “Extended” protection?

    Hi, it says “Extended Protection”…

    The PHP selection when I first installed Wordfence seemed important.

    Ive change PHP from Apache to Fast CGI and wondered if i need to update anything.

    Should I switch back to learning mode, or leave it Enabled and Protecting?

    The methods of loading the Firewall are similar between many systems so you do not necessarily need to reinstall the Firewall just because you change something in the backend. If it says “Extended Protection” you don’t have to change anything. That means the Firewall is working!
