What is
Mod Security?
ModSecurity is a module that protects your website from various types of attacks. Mod Security protects our website from hackers, hacks, brute force attack, cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and many other threats. We do not recommend disabling it, although it sometimes causes problems, instead we recommend fixing your software security vulnerability. This is because ModSecurity only protects your website from software security; when it is blocked.
Disabling ModSecurity can help you determine whether ModSecurity is blocking your IP or your client/visiting IP. But if that's not the case, it means your IP was blocked for a different reason.
