Hello,

I have just checked a website for malware using Sucuri Site Check. The report comes up with 'Website Firewall Not Found'. I have the Admin Tools firewall setup so I don't understand why it is reporting no firewall.

Is this something I need to worry about? I have attached an image of the result.

Thank you
Kind regards

Hello Lene,

Sucuri is looking for an hardware firewall, while Admin Tools is a Software Firewall (it is an extension installed in your Joomla site), that's why you receive such warning.

Hello Davide,

I know Admin Tools is a software but I did not know Sucuri was searching hardware firewall. I can't remember seeing this on other scans. I will follow up with the hosting provider.

Thank you
Kind regards
