BBQ Firewall – Count Blocked Requests

BBQ Firewall BBQ Firewall is built to be powerful, lightweight, fast and flexible. It’s code base is kept super lean, leaving extra functionality out of core while supporting new features via simple addons. For example, this tutorial shows how to use an addon to display the total number of blocked HTTP requests on the plugin settings page. This can help you get a basic idea of the plugin’s effectiveness.

Note: This tutorial works with the free version of BBQ Firewall. The pro version has its own settings page where block counts are displayed for each firewall rule.

How it works

To display of the total number of blocked requests on the BBQ settings screen, download and install the Block Count plugin. Activate and done. Then visit the BBQ settings to view the current blocked count anytime.
