When it comes to securing hosting environments, staying ahead of emerging threats is essential. The latest cPFence update introduces two groundbreaking features that set a new standard in server security: Full IPv6 Compatibility and Advanced Database Malware Scanning. While competitors are still struggling to catch up, cPFence leads the way with complete IPv6 protection and enhanced database security—giving hosting companies and VPS owners the tools they need to stay fully protected.
Full IPv6 Compatibility – Securing the Future of Hosting
IPv6 adoption is rapidly increasing, yet many security solutions still offer limited or no support. cPFence is now 100% IPv6-compatible, making it the first security solution in the shared hosting industry to provide unrestricted IPv6 protection. Unlike others that only partially support IPv6 or charge a premium, cPFence delivers comprehensive IPv6 security without additional costs.
Key Benefits of Full IPv6 Support in cPFence:
- IPv6 Blacklisting & Whitelisting – Block or allow IPv6 addresses with the same ease as IPv4.
- Country Blocking Module – Now fully IPv6-ready, ensuring complete enforcement of country-based restrictions.
- Brute Force Protection – Secure SSH, FTP, and web services against IPv6-based attacks (Mail services support coming soon!).
- Real-Time IPv6 Threat Intelligence – Our IPDB now fully supports IPv6, helping detect and block malicious IPv6 traffic dynamically.
With the rapid growth of IPv6 usage, relying on outdated security measures that ignore this protocol is a serious risk. cPFence ensures your servers remain protected from both IPv4 and IPv6 threats, without compromise.
Database Malware Scanning – A Critical Layer of Defense
Web application security isn’t just about protecting files—it’s about safeguarding databases too. Attackers often inject malicious payloads directly into databases, bypassing traditional file-based security measures. That’s where cPFence’s advanced database scanning comes in, offering unparalleled protection against malware and injection attacks.
Why Database Scanning is Essential
Consider this scenario: You hire a developer or freelancer to work on your website. You give them temporary access, and after the job is done, you reset the password. You assume your site is secure again—but what if a malicious payload was already injected into your database? Without an advanced database security solution, your site could be compromised long after the attacker’s access was revoked.
cPFence’s latest update ensures that all WordPress databases are automatically scanned daily for malware and injection threats. This means no hidden payloads, no lingering backdoors—just complete peace of mind.
New Features in cPFence Database Security:
- WordPress Database Malware Scanning (Auto-Enabled) – Detects and removes injected malware before it causes harm.
- Custom Database Whitelisting – Exclude specific databases from scanning if needed for performance reasons.
- Enhanced Detection Rules – Improved accuracy eliminates false positives while ensuring threats are caught.
- Spam-Free Scanning – Filters out unnecessary spam detections to focus purely on security threats.
- Bulk Scanning via CLI – Quickly scan all databases with a single command:
cpfence --bulk-scan-wp-databases
Going Beyond Detection – Optimizing Your Databases Automatically
Security is just one part of the equation—performance matters too. That’s why cPFence WP-AutoShield now includes an automatic database optimization tool. This feature helps keep WordPress databases running efficiently by removing overhead and optimizing tables.
- Daily WordPress Database Optimization (Optional Feature) – Boosts site performance without manual intervention.
- Enable via Admin UI – Navigate to System Settings → WP-AutoShield → Daily Optimize All WP Databases.
- Run Optimization Manually – Use the command:
cpfence --bulk-optimize-wp-databases
