Patch file to add the Perishable Press 7G Firewall to Drupal

Drupal Patch for nG Firewall

This repo contains a patch file for adding the Perishable Press nG Firewall and nG Addon to Drupal.

All credit for the nG Firewall rules goes to Perishable Press and whomever they list as contributors.

I don't vouch for the utility or functionality of the firewall rules on a Drupal site. I've used it for years on my site without any issues with the exception of an edit to allow access to files under the system directory. Thanks to the folks at Perishable Press, that change was added to newer versions of the firewall.

Usage

Since this is a patch file, use it to patch .htaccess.

There are several ways to do this. For sites using the standard Drupal composer setup with Drupal ^8.8.x, you can use the standard patching mechanism in composer.json.

Example

{
  ... everything else in composer.json ...
  "extra": {
    "patches": {
      "drupal/core": {
        "htaccess nG Firewall": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kentr/drupal-nG-firewall-patch/master/htaccess-nG-firewall.patch"
      }
    }
  }
}

See this post for more information.
