If you find multiple IPs from the same subnet abusing your server:
185.177.72.23
185.177.72.49
185.177.72.56
185.177.72.204

block the IP range in #Cloudfare > #Security > #Waf > Tools
185.177.72.0/24

And add the same range to your server firewall.

NOTE: This blocks attempts to login to your server services, cPanel, WHM, Dovecot/Exim, FTP/SFTP, SSH and WebDisk from the blacklisted country. It does not block attempts to connect to your server, that's handled by your firewall.

If you have a #Cloudflare paid account, you have the option to enable Markdown for Agents. Markdown is a more efficient format for content delivery to #Ai agents. If you're also using Per per Crawl, the request will still have to be authorized before it will be converted from HTML to Markdown.

Contact your server support if you don't know how to fix them.

Free #security audit, no experience required.
Log in to #WHM then type adv in search and click the first result: Security Advisor.
Alternatively, Log in to WHM, scroll down to Security Center, click Security Advisor.
This will initiate a security scan of your server.

Google port# to confirm if it needs to be open.

Drop the port but send a rejection message back to the sender:
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport PORT# -j REJECT

In general, use DROP for public facing unused/non-standard ports and REJECT for internal trusted networks.

Google port# to confirm if it needs to be open.

Use CLI or Terminal:
Silently drop the individual port. Replace PORT# with the relevanat destination (aka remote) port:
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport PORT# -j DROP

Save your rules to make them permanent.
sudo service iptables save

Have you tried #Chrome Split View? If you do a lot of multitasking, it can be a real time saver. Once tabs are in split view, you can arrange the tabs by right clicking the tabs and clicking "Arrange split view". Currently, split view is limited to two tabs.

There are paid versions but I tested the free version on an old laptop. The install was not particularly intuitive, you need to create a free account, login to download the 0patch agent, and once installed, you must also login to the agent. Once installed though, it worked.

0patch - No more patching headaches The tiny micropatching solution that fixes the way we fix vulnerabilities and joins software vendors, users and security researchers in the same team

As noted in an earlier post, support for Windows 10 has now ended and if you want to stick with Windows, you can purchase an extended year of support from Microsot. There is another option though and there's a free version: 0patch.com/pricing.html

After a bit of struggling, it pretty much got the text right. But the result was less than inspiring. After repeated prompts to change the background color, font size and color, Manus failed with all the requested color changes and any font size changes were barely noticeable. On to the next test.

Started playing with Manus AI and as most all AI apps struggle to get text on image correct, thought I'd throw it a challange with this prompt:
Create an infographic, 1080px square, describing Manus and and it's unique features that set it apart from other ai apps.
Here's the result:

Whether you only have a website or manage a server with multiple websites, the first line of defense is to make sure all software, including the operating system, is up to date. Then, make sure you have an active backup system in place and running.
