Firewall Extension 

The TYPO3 Firewall extension provides two main possibilities:

1. Use all features of the Phirewall package 

This extension integrates the powerful open-source package phirewall and makes its features available in the TYPO3 context. This includes:

  • Protection against brute-force and other attacks
  • Flexible pattern and rule definitions (IP, path, header, user agent, etc.)
  • Support for blacklists, whitelists, rate limiting, and more
  • Central configuration via PHP array files

Configuration of Phirewall Phirewall itself is configured in the core configuration file:

config/system/phirewall.php
Copied!

All details and advanced features can be found in the official Phirewall documentation: https://github.com/flowd/phirewall

2. Manage static block patterns in the TYPO3 backend 

Via the TYPO3 backend, editors and administrators can create, edit, and delete custom block patterns. These patterns become active immediately and extend the Phirewall configuration.

  • Easy management of IPs, paths, headers, etc. via the backend module
  • Overview and management of all active patterns
  • Support for expiration date (expiresAt) and various pattern types
  • Immediate enforcement of rules without deployment
  • Patterns are stored in the file config/system/phirewall.patterns.php.
