Backend

The TYPO3 backend provides a dedicated module for managing the firewall. Switch between the two views via the dropdown in the module's doc-header.

Patterns

Manage the static block list used by the firewall middleware.

Create, edit, and delete patterns
Select the pattern type (e.g. IP, path, header)
Specify value, target (e.g. header name), and expiration date
Overview of all active patterns
Immediate activation after saving

Patterns are stored in the file config/system/phirewall.patterns.json and are used directly by the firewall.

Blocked keys

Manage keys (e.g. IP addresses) that the firewall has banned automatically through fail2ban or allow2ban rules.

List all currently active bans, grouped by rule
Each entry shows the banned key, the rule type (fail2ban or allow2ban), and the time the ban expires
Remove a single ban to immediately allow the key again

Bans are read from and written to the cache store configured for the firewall (see Phirewall). Removing a ban here only clears the entry for the selected rule; if the underlying condition that triggered the ban still applies, the key may be banned again on the next matching request.
