Firewall script!

[kursed]

Is anyone else in here using this product, if so - any comments or reviews about how it features on vBulletin? Also, it'll be duly appreciated if vBulletin team can give me an input on whether or not buying this product will give my website some sort of protection against web-based threats.

Summary:

• $120 (with backlink on your homepage) or $265 with no backlink.
• Encoded with ioncube, and phones home

TBH, I don't see the need for this at all. To begin with, there's not really any way to verify what it does and how it works. I guess it just denies suspicious requests (or asks for captcha verification etc.) I personally wouldn't ever use an encoded script, because I want to see what it actually does.

My conclusion-- Best case: It's unnecessary. Worst case: This could be a trojan horse itself for all we know (most likely isn't).
