    Hi there,

    as always, NinjaFirewall is one of the standard plugins we install on each and every site we make.

    Does it make sense to protect the htninja file when placed in the document root folder with an htaccess entry like:

    <Files .htninja>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    </Files>

    Thanks and best regards,
    Larry

    If you’re running Apache, there’s no need for it because by default Apache doesn’t serve files starting with “.ht”. If you’re running another HTTP server, make sure you cannot download the file by accessing https://YOUR-SITE/.htninja with your browser.

    Litespeed web server also doesn’t server any .ht
