Solid Security: Elevating Your Protection with Improved Firewall Management

Solid Security Pro 8.3.0 is now available for download. This release contains a new feature to the Firewall that provides an easier way to block or authorize IP addresses. You’ll find this feature in the new IP Management tab on the Firewall page. There’s also a new opt-in-only Usage Data Sharing feature, which allows you to share non-personal and non-sensitive information with StellarWP to inform decisions about how to improve Solid Security in the future.

Additionally, Solid Security Pro 8.3.0 contains the following enhancements:

• A redesigned “Trusted Devices” manager, which has been relocated to the Security Profile tabbed UI
• A visual confirmation when changes are saved on the Firewall Configure page
• Making the GDPR Optin text in the CAPTCHA module more visible
• Making references to Two-Factor Authentication on the Profile page more consistent
• Allowing users to take action on recommendations in Site Scan results when an issue is muted
• Cleaning up some references and links to iThemes

Here are the bugs we squashed:

• Lengthy log item columns are now truncated before inserting them into the database
• Security Profile tabs are consistently ordered
• Some Solid Security Admin Menu items were missing the text domain attribute
• When starting a Site Scan, filters on the Vulnerabilities page are reset
• A PHP warning showed on the logs page when the File Change module logged unexpected data
