Stronger protection and more control over security settings with CloudFlare’s new cPanel plugin

What's this blog post about?

On May 2nd, 2016, Cloudflare released a new version of its plugin for cPanel with two new features and enhanced control over website security settings. The updated plugin (v6.0) uses the latest cPanel PHP-based APIs and is redesigned to facilitate easier addition of new features and frequent updates. It allows users to quickly start using Cloudflare features by clicking on the Cloudflare icon from their cPanel interface. New features include Full Zone Provisioning, enabling all of Cloudflare's protection for root domains and subdomains, and an "I'm under attack" mode for filtering out malicious traffic during Layer 7 DDoS attacks. Users can also control more security settings from cPanel, such as the basic security level, challenge passage duration, and browser integrity check. Additionally, performance settings like caching levels, auto-minify options, and development mode can be managed within cPanel. The plugin is now based on the latest cPanel APIs for increased stability and supports localization into any language.
