IPDB abusive IP blacklist
A real-time list of IP addresses that have been flagged for engaging in malicious or harmful activity like Web attacks, Brute-force, Spamming, DDoS attacks, Port scanning, Malware distribution etc. It efficiently blocks IP addresses using IPset, a Linux kernel feature for managing IP address sets, enabling fast and resource-efficient blocking.
Realtime, Collective intelligence
The IP blacklist leverages the strength of attack data from servers, input from our partners and 3rd parties.
DoS and traffic flood Protection
cPGuard offers solutions to prevent traffic floods and reduce server load caused by aggressive scraping from various AI-powered tools and search engines.
Custom Geo-blocking and country whitelist
IPDB lets you tweak the block list by whitelisting custom IPs and countries and also has options to block entire countries.
It helped a lot! It seems to have found an old problem with it. Something permanently uploaded malicious codes to a cPanel account. cPguard lite found a webshell virus that no other antivirus found, including world famous imunifyAV+ and 360.Now it seems that this harmful attempt has abated.

Web Hosting geekcPGuard has been effective, far more than CXS, Pyxsoft and others we’ve used! Their ever-advancing protection and support has been the main reason for our satisfaction. Your protection for brute force is great and saved us from attacks that were overloading the server.

CTO CWGFrequently Asked Questions
I have a small server. Will cPGuard make it slower ?
cPGuard has been tested on minimal resources and is running smoothly on many small client servers without any additional server overhead. We have designed cPGuard to consume the smallest amount of RAM and CPU resources. Our many clients have compared cPGuard with other products on the market and found our services are never on the list of most resource-consuming processes.
Do I need to uninstall other Antivirus solutions that are installed before installing cPGuard?
cPGuard has been found to have no compatibility issues with other antivirus solutions. You can run any other security add-ons along with cPGuard without any hassle.
cPGuard Standalone can install on any servers ?
cPGuard Standalone will work fine on all supported Linux OS with supported Web Servers. Installation is simple and you may need to input server configurations and other details during installation.
Will cPGuard install ModSecurity along with WAF ?
No, cPGuard does not install ModSecurity on your server. You need to install ModSecurity 2.9.4+ along with your Web Server
Do I need another firewall on the server even with cPGuard ?
cPGuard is a Web Security Suite and it does not monitor other system/application services. So it is recommended to install another firewall IPS/IDS [ CSF is recommended ] along with cPGuard.
