REQUIREMENTS:

   * WHMCS
         o WHMCS CAN NOT reside on the same physical server as your customers' hosting server
   * Config Server Firewall (CSF)
   * VPS/Dedicated Server

This plugin is extremely useful when you implement high security configuration using CSF on your servers. With this plugin, whenever your client gets blocked by CSF, they can unblock themselves from within their WHMCS client area.

FEATURES:

   * Automatic Client's IP Unblock From WHMCS Client Area
   * Clients Will See Why They Get Blocked
   * Permanent IP Unblock Request For Clients With Static IP
   * Ability To Define How Long IP Will Be White Listed For The Auto Unblock
   * Alert Notification When Auto Unblock Occurs
   * Alert Notification When Permanent IP Unblock Requested
   * Optional CSF Rules Sync Between All Servers


HOW IT WORKS:

What this pugin do is to automatically update every CSF files on your servers which define the IPs that are being blocked or white listed by your CSF firewall.

Everything is automated, client who are already logged in to their WHMCS area has already authenticate themselves. From within their WHMCS client area > hosting details page (where they usually see a cPanel/WHM login button), they can click the "UNBLOCK ME" button to unblock themselves when ever they see that their IP was blocked by the CSF firewall.

Additionally, client which utilize static IP for their internet connection can request a permanent IP unblock, so their IP will be white listed permanently and will not get flushed when the module flushes all the other auto unblock IPs. The flush period can be defined in this plugin admin section.
