Installing on AdminBolt

cPGuard can be integrated with the AdminBolt control panel to provide server security features, including malware scanning, a web application firewall (WAF), and login protection.

cPGuard can be installed from the AdminBolt control panel under Health > Security or Module Manager. The installer will prompt you to enter a valid license key.

Accessing the App Portal​

cPGuard is managed through its online App Portal, which can be accessed directly from AdminBolt:

  1. Click Open cPGuard Dashboard to open the portal access page.
  2. Select Continue to App Portal. AdminBolt generates a sign-in link for the server and opens the portal in a new browser tab.

If the portal does not open, allow pop-ups for the AdminBolt panel and try again.

cPGuard Client Plugin​

The client plugin allows hosting clients to use cPGuard's native interface instead of the default AdminBolt scan page.

  • Default state: Disabled.
  • To enable: Go to Service and Licence, select Enable the client plugin, and confirm the action.
  • Client access: Clients whose hosting plans include the cPGuard feature can access it under Security > cPGuard.

Scans​

Administrators can use cPGuard to scan individual hosting accounts or the entire server:

  • Scan an account: Scans all files in the selected account's home directory.
  • Scan whole server: Scans all directories in cPGuard's watch list.

Administrators can view scan results, stop running scans, and delete completed scan records.

Watch List Synchronization​

cPGuard monitors the document roots of hosted domains. AdminBolt automatically synchronizes the watch list whenever domains are created, modified, renamed, imported, or removed. It also performs periodic checks to ensure the list remains current.
