Settings

Every option on the Settings page, with its default value.

Settings holds the options that apply to the whole panel. Choose a section on the left. Changes are saved automatically as soon as you change a field or a switch; there is no Save button. Thresholds can also be changed for a single server, in its settings.

The AI options are on their own page, AI → Settings: see AI analysis.

Vulnerability checks

SettingDefaultWhat it does
Check for vulnerabilities automaticallyOnOnly software names and versions are sent to the vulnerability databases, never host names or IPs
Email serious ones right awayOnExploited in the wild, or critical (CVSS ≥ 9) with a fixed version available
Daily digest includesHigh and aboveOnly critical, high and above, medium and above, all severities, or no daily digest
Daily digest hour08:00In the panel's time zone

With AI vulnerability assessment turned on (AI → Settings), the AI decides which ones are emailed right away, and the daily digest is part of the AI daily report. See Vulnerability checks.

Traffic and blocklist / allowlist

SettingDefaultWhat it does
Days to keep IP statistics30How long per-IP statistics are kept on the master
Blocklist only blocks these portsEmpty = all portsFor example 80,443 blocks websites only. SSH is only ever blocked for single IPs and small ranges (/24 or smaller), never by country rules or larger ranges.
Allow admin IPs automaticallyOnIPs that signed in to the panel in the last 7 days are always allowed, so you don't lock yourself out
Protected addressesEmptyIPs or ranges, separated by commas, that are never blocked, not even by an administrator, and always allowed: VPN exits, office IPs, monitoring services…

Blocking itself is turned on per server, in Servers → Settings. Allowlisted and protected addresses, your servers, the master and administrator IPs can never be blocked. See Traffic and blocklist.

Passkeys

The passkeys that sign the AI repairs you approve, the servers that trust them, and the fingerprints to compare. See Passkeys and approvals.

These apply to every server unless the server's own settings override them.

SettingDefault
