Access Shield Pro

Access Shield Pro

Developed By ArkHost

Compatible with WHMCS v8.13

Security module for WHMCS that actually works.

What it does

Blocks traffic you don't want:

  • Country blocking - Block entire countries from accessing your WHMCS
  • IP rules - Whitelist trusted IPs, blacklist bad actors (IPv4/IPv6 CIDR)
  • Threat intelligence - Daily updates from Blocklist.de, Spamhaus DROP, and Emerging Threats
  • Scanner detection - Catches bots looking for WordPress, phpMyAdmin, and other vulnerabilities
  • Honeypot traps - Instant blacklist for anyone accessing trap paths
  • Rate limiting - Stops rapid-fire attacks
  • Admin access control - Restrict admin area by country and IP

How it works

Threat intelligence downloads known bad IP lists daily via WHMCS cron. No manual updates needed.

Scanner detection uses configurable patterns (wildcards and regex supported) to catch bots probing for vulnerabilities. Strike system with escalating bans - 3 strikes for temporary bans, 4th strike is permanent.

Honeypot traps are paths that shouldn't exist on your WHMCS install (/wp-admin/, /phpmyadmin/, etc.). Anyone accessing them gets instantly blacklisted.

Rate limiting blocks IPs making too many requests per minute. Configurable threshold and block duration.

All attempts are logged with quick actions - whitelist, blacklist, or mark as customer directly from the logs. Export to CSV/JSON when needed.

Performance

Multi-tier caching keeps response times under 1ms. Automatic cleanup prevents database bloat.

Requirements

  • WHMCS 8.9+
  • PHP 8.1+
  • MySQL/MariaDB
  • License key

No complicated setup. Install, activate, configure.

This security solution has given us peace of mind. The setup was straightforward, and the monitoring capabilities are great. However, the interface could be a bit more intuitive.

Access Shield Pro is a very effective security product. The two-factor authentication has added an extra layer of protection. The only downside is that it can occasionally slow down login processes, but overall, it’s a top-notch product for securing access.

It’s quick to resolve issues, and the interface is user-friendly. However, there’s still room for improvement in handling complex queries. Overall, it is a great tool that has helped us manage support requests more efficiently."
