• Admin panel restricted to only Whitelisted IP addresses
  Most popular content management systems have an administrative panel. Example: "/wp-admin" on WordPress or "/administrator" on Joomla. If you set it on, only whitelisted IP addresses will be able to access those directories. If you have a membership site and you allow anyone to create an account and login there, do not enable this option.
• XMLRPC, Comments and Trackbacks blocked
  If your site does not allow comments (or trackbacks/pingbacks), or if you use an external commenting system (like Disqus or Facebook comments), you can block any comment attempt, since it is likely to be spam.
• Stop unfiltered HTML from being sent to your site
  This option prevents users from inserting or sending unfiltered HTML content to your site. It will block things like iframes and script calls from being used. If you have a forum or membership site and you allow your users to send messages and post open content, do not enable this option. Note that white listed IP addresses are not affected by this setting.
• Stop upload of PHP or executable content
  This option will prevent anyone from uploading PHP, Perl or executable content to your site. We recommend enabling this option unless you do allow users to do uploads. Note that white listed IP addresses are still allowed to do uploads.
• Enable Emergency DDoS protection
  The HTTP flood protection will prevent anyone from using a browser without JavaScript enabled from visiting the site (except major search engines), very useful when the site is under DDoS. You can turn off this option once things normalize.
• Block anonymous proxies and the top three attack countries
  Enabling this option will prevent anyone from China, Russia or Turkey from interacting with your site. They are still able to view all content, but not register an account, submit comments or attempt to login (basically lock to read-only mode). The same restriction applies to users using anonymous proxies services to hide their IP addresses.
• Aggressive bot filter
  This setting will block invalid user agents that do not match real browsers like empty user agents, user agents that start with PHP/, and improper user agents from common browsers.
• Force passing the hostname via TLS/SSL
  This option will force passing the hostname during the SSL/TLS handshake. NOTE: enabling it may break the site, do not enable it unless it's already broken.
• Advanced evasion detection
  This option will enable our advanced evasion detection signatures. We recommend keeping it on, but if your site support URLs on non-ascii characters (like Japanese, Indian, Russian, etc), you may need to disable it.

High mode will enable all our default security checks to prevent SQL injections, Cross site scripting, RFI, LFI, security scanners and a myriad of attacks from ever reaching your site. It will also enable our Virtual patching so if you are ever using an outdated software, it can't be used to hack your site.

Paranoid mode includes all the security options from the "High" mode, but also prevents POST requests, which means users won't be able to comment or send any information to the site, only reading will be allowed.
