IPIntel AI Firewall (WAF) integrates AI-powered IP reputation analysis into WordPress
to help site owners detect and mitigate automated abuse, scanners, and malicious traffic.

Incoming requests are evaluated using external reputation signals and risk scoring.
Based on the assessed risk level, traffic may be allowed, challenged for human verification,
or blocked automatically.

The plugin is designed to be easy to use and does not require custom code or
infrastructure management.

Data Privacy

This plugin connects to the IPIntel.ai API to analyze visitor IP addresses
for security and threat detection purposes.

Data transmitted to the external service:
– Visitor IP address
– API key (used solely for request authentication)

No WordPress user account data, cookies, or User-Agent information are transmitted.

The external service is used exclusively to determine whether a request
should be allowed, challenged, or blocked.

A free API key is available with a daily request limit.

Higher request limits require an upgrade.

Page Cache Compatibility

IPIntel AI Firewall relies on per-visitor verification.

When full-page caching is enabled, the cache must vary by the
verification cookie in order for challenges to work correctly.

For LiteSpeed Cache:
– Go to LiteSpeed Cache Cache Vary
– Add the following cookie:
ipintel_human_ok
– Save changes and purge the cache

This is a one-time configuration step.

Without cache variation, it is technically impossible for any WordPress
plugin to reliably challenge unverified visitors.

Optional Footer Badge

The plugin includes an optional footer badge that can be enabled
from the settings page.

When enabled, the badge displays a small visual indicator showing
that the site is protected by IPIntel.ai.

The badge does not collect data, perform tracking,
or load external resources.

The footer badge is disabled by default and can be turned on or off at any time.
