CloudFlare is a service that makes websites load faster and protects sites from online spammers and hackers. Any website with a root domain (ie http://www.mydomain.com) can use CloudFlare.

CloudFlare offers security features - free and paid - that can further help you protect your website. We'll cover the key features customers care about the most below.

Basic Security Level (free to all customers)

CloudFlare’s Basic Security level uses data sources to identify potentially malicious visitors to your site by IP threat scoring. If the IP has recently shown problematic behavior online, including spam and attacks, then a visitor from that IP would receive a challenge page before they actually hit your website (this is also highly effective at stopping many botnet attacks).

Keep in mind:

A higher security level will lead to more challenges and possible false positives. We default all users to medium, but you can always turn this higher or lower in your security settings.

Pro tip: CloudFlare customers on a paid plan can customize CloudFlare error message pages.

CloudFlare’s Threat Control (free to all customers)

Many WordPress site owners just installed their WordPress site through a few clicks at a hosting provider. Many of these site owners do not know server commands that they can use to restrict access to their site through things like .htaccess, but CloudFlare’s Threat Control panel will let you do many of the same things that you would do in .htaccess through an intuitive interface that will let you either block or whitelist IPs.

Things you can do:

1. Block an individual IP

2. Block an IP range by CIDR (we currently support in /16 and /24 formats).

3. Block a country

Conversely, of course, you can also use Threat Control to whitelist IPs. If you know that a product or service you use to help run your site needs access to your site, such as a monitoring service or API call, then you should whitelist their IPs to make sure that they don’t get challenged.

Note: CloudFlare’s country block currently only throws a challenge page up for visitors from the region you blocked (not a full block). A human could still enter your site by passing the captcha, but the block is still highly effective at stopping most bots or botnets from wasting your site’s server resources or attacking you. You should use some care with using a country block, however, since you may inadvertently end up challenging a service with an IP address in that country block space.

CloudFlare’s Web Application Firewall (Advanced Security)

CloudFlare’s Web Application Firewall is a paid feature of CloudFlare designed to make it harder for someone to penetrate your site (you should still follow other security practices, of course). While many attackers out there are simply “script kiddies” screwing around, there are indeed more advanced hackers out there that will try to figure out ways to access your site through more advanced attack types (XSS, SQLi, etc.).

As of this writing, CloudFlare’s Web Application Firewall a has over 15 rule sets designed to block attacks directed specifically at WordPress sites, with an additional layer of protection added via the OWASP WordPress rule sets configured in the WAF as well. You can turn these WAF protections on or off in your CloudFlare security settings.

Note: Please note that some visitors may trigger false positives with the Web Application Firewall turned on. You can always decided to whitelist that visitor in Threat Control to override the challenge or block behavior.

CloudFlare SSL

SSL encrypts information between a web server and a client (a browser, for example) so that sensitive information can be transmitted securely without having eavesdropping occurring from malicious actors on the internet. If you have a website where you are capturing sensitive information (credit cards, etc.) or doing e-commerce transactions, SSL is the best way to protect that sensitive information from being intercepted. CloudFlare has two options for SSL based on your needs:

Flexible SSL

Customers that do not have SSL installed on their web server can still encrypt some of the traffic to protect sensitive information with Flexible SSL. The added benefit of Flexible SSL is that visitors would still see your website as having SSL enabled, thereby giving visitors more trust in your site.

Note: If you are using a service that requires SSL directly on the server, Flexible SSL will not meet that need and you should get a SSL certificate from an approved SSL vendor (your hosting provider will often have SSL available as well).

Full SSL and Full Strict SSL

Full SSL is required for sites that have an SSL certificate installed directly on their server. Full SSL will encrypt all of the traffic all the way to your web server as long as CloudFlare is proxying the record in your CloudFlare DNS settings. Full SSL will work with a self-signed certificate, whereas customers with a valid certificate from a certificate authority should choose the Full Strict option for SSL.

CloudFlare DDoS protection

CloudFlare offers basic DDoS protection and mitigation to all customers free of charge, with advanced DDoS protection offered on the Business or Enterprise tiers of service.

If you are currently under DDoS attack, or if you would like to reduce the risk of a DDoS attack, then we have some very helpful tips on how to mitigate a DDoS attack fairly quickly.

Please note: We only guarantee DDoS protection at the Business and Enterprise tiers of service. If your site is frequently the target of large DDoS attacks, please make sure that you choose the correct pricing plan for your site to get the coverage you need.

oh!...serious?

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday arraigned two men for attempting to hack into the internet network of Enterprise Bank Plc.

The suspects are – Ola Lawal and Abass Ajibade, while the third person, Olumide Kayode, was said to be at large.

The defendants were arraigned on a four -count charge bordering on conspiracy to defraud, felony, stealing and forgery before the court presided by Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo.

According to the prosecution, Seidu Atteh, the suspects conspired to defraud Enterprise Bank and hacked into the bank’s network with their laptop computer, router model and grabber/key logger to obtain the password of key operations staff through the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

He said the defendants aimed to access the bank network without authority to conduct fraudulent transactions.

Atteh alleged that the defendants wanted ‎to access the CPU to conduct unauthorized transfer of money into other accounts.

He also alleged that the second defendant, Ajibade forged a National Diploma certificate purportedly issued by Polytechnic of Ibadan to one Ajibade Abass Rotimi with matriculation number 029511.

He said the offences were committed on July 10, 2014 within Ikeja Judicial Division.

According to him, the offences were contrary to Sections 323, 361(1) (e), and 409 and punishable under Sections 285(1) and (363) (1) of the Criminal Laws No. 11, Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.

When the charges were read, the defendants pleaded not guilty to them.

The court did not take their plea as Justice Lawal-Akapo ordered them to be remanded in Maximum Prison, Kirikiri‎, Lagos, pending when their application would be heard.

He subsequently adjourned the matter to October 26.

Praise God....No ransom paid?....










still loading......

CALABAR – SEYI Adekunle, the Living Faith Church pastor who was abducted by hoodlums, Saturday night, in his church along IBB Way CaLabar,was this morning released by his captors.

A source in the church told Vanguard that the pastor was taken to the outskirt of Calabar at midnight and asked to go home. Pastor Seyi found his way to the church where other pastors were holding a vigil for his release.

The pastor’s release was confirmed by the chairman of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria in Cross River State, Pastor Lawrence Ekwok who could not confirm if any ransom was paid. He however expressed gratitude to God, the police and the media for helping to facilitate the release of the pastor.

Mr Hogan Bassey, the Cross River State Police Command Spokesman told Vanguard that two suspects were arrested which led to the release of the pastor. “No ransom was paid but we are on the trail of other accomplices and very soon I will give you more details”

can Nigeria learn from Senegal and abolish the Senate and use the money to pay worker's salaries.....my humble advice....you may add yours...

Thirteen people have died and thousands have been left homeless following severe floods in the country as a result of exceptionally high rainfall.

As a result of this, members of parliament in a joint session voted to abolish the Senate following a proposal by President Macky Sall that the money budgeted for the lawmakers be used to help the victims of the floods.

In addition to helping victims, Sall said that the $15m reserved for the Senate will go towards preventing further flooding.

The proposal and subsequent abolishment of the senate is being perceived by some members of the opposition as an attempt to weaken the opposition as most of the senators were supporters of the ex-president.

The 100 senators had fought to be retained, but lost the vote in the joint session of parliament.

The Congress also abolished the post of vice-president – although no-one has held the position since it was created in 2009 by then-President Abdoulaye Wade.

The All Progressives Congress has assured workers in Osun State that Governor Rauf Aregbesola will soon pay them their outstanding salaries.

The Director of Publicity of the APC in the state, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, gave this assurance in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Tuesday to greet Muslims ahead of the commencement of the Ramadan.

The party appealed to the workers to exercise more patience and perseverance, while stating that Aregbesola was working round the clock to ensure payment of their salaries.

The statement read, ” Nigeria is going through a financial tragedy which was avoidable, but had befallen the country owing, fundamentally, to human selfishness and carelessness, including gross mismanagement of the country’s financial resources.

“In times like this, when we face a collective challenge approaching the Ramadan, our faith must not waver, our restraint must not snap and our perseverance should hold firm so that we can triumph over this tragedy within the fasting period.

“We give assurances to government workers and the people who depend on government that this crisis of non-payment of salaries and other entitlements will very soon be resolved. “

The APC therefore urged the workers and the other residents of the state to disregard the “evil characters amongst us” who he said were trying to incite them against the government over the issue.

The ruling party stated that the opposition parties were incapable of suggesting a solution, but were out to sow discord and to rejoice on the misfortune of others.

“But as Ramadan approaches, our spiritual self-restraint should take control of our emotional and financial strains, and Osun should demonstrate that their religious faith is solid and capable of withstanding what we are going through.

“It is only through this unflinching demonstration of active faith that Allah will grant us relief and victory over our problems,” he added.

Recruitment Aptitude Tests Made Easy @ www.recruitment. Practice Online Sample Questions, see your score and solutions to questions attempted.

for detail illustration with pictures (snapshots) visit http://newsnownigeria.com.ng/bloggers-how-to-back-up-your-wordpress-site-to-google-drive/ and for practical application/installation on your wordpress blog, contact admin@

1. Create a Google Account

First, you will need to have a Google account. If you don’t already have one you can sign up for a free Google account here. Having a Google account will allow you to set up a Google email address, connect on Google+, use Google Drive to store files and use Google Analytics on your website, among other things.

We chose to use Google Drive to backup our WordPress site because we already had a Google account and Google Drive includes 15 GB of free storage.



2. Install and Activate Your Back-Up Plugin

There are many plugins that you could choose for backing up your site. UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore by UpdraftPlus.com is one easy-to-use plugin that can be set up to automatically back up your site to a location you choose. In this tutorial, we will show you how to back up to Google Drive your WordPress site with UpdraftPlus because that’s the plugin/method we use.

To install this plugin:

Go to your plugins page from your WordPress dashboard.
Click “add new” at the top.
Type “UpdraftPlus” into the search box and hit enter.
Click “Install Now”
Return to your plugin list and make sure it is activated. If not, click “activate.”
Configuring Your UpdraftPlus Settings

Once you have installed and activated the plugin, click the “settings” link under the UpdraftPlus plugin name in your list of installed plugins. On the next page, click the settings tab to configure your backup settings.

Updraft new settings edited

You can decide how often you want the plugin to automatically back up your site. I chose to change the backup intervals from manual to weekly and left the number of backups to be retained at two.

By changing the interval to weekly, this means once we finish configuring the settings, this plugin will automatically back up our site every week without us having to do anything more.

I left the remaining “Include in files backup” settings at the default settings. The default settings will back up everything on your WordPress site except for the WordPress platform itself. WordPress could be downloaded again from WordPress.org, if that were necessary.

Next, scroll down to the “Reporting” settings. You can check the box to have an email report sent to you each time a back up is performed. I like to get these emails so I know the plugin is working properly.

In the “Copying Your Backup to Remote Storage” section choose where you want to save your backup. For this tutorial, we have selected Google Drive. This causes the area below the drop down box to fill in with instructions for connecting this plugin with your Google Drive account.

Updraft new settings2 edited

At this point you will want to scroll all the way to the bottom and click save changes. You will be taken away from this page in the next step.

Setting up UpdraftPlus to Automatically Back Up to Google Drive

Once you have saved your settings, click the link in the Google instructions that starts with “Follow this link to your Google API Console….” (The Google instructions are located under the “settings” link under the UpdraftPlus plugin.)

This will take you away from your plugin page and to your Google account. If you are not automatically logged into Google, you may be asked to select a Google account and log in first.

Click the “Create Project” button and create a Project name between 4 and 30 characters. Leave the Project ID as whatever fills in automatically. Check the box to agree with terms and click the “Create” button.

In Google Drive2

In the the next window in the far left column, select APIs and auth to expand that menu, then select APIs. The API library will display. Under the Google Apps APIs column (far right), select Drive API. Click Enable API.

In Google Drive4

Next, Go back to the “APIs and auth” section in the left hand column and this time select “Consent screen.” In this screen, the only required fields are email address and product name. For product name, I filled in our website name. Then scroll all the way down to select Save.

In Google Drive7

Next go back to the APIs and auth section and select Credentials. Under OAuth, click the button to Create new Client ID.

In Google Drive8

Leave Application type as Web application.

In the Authorized JavaScripts origins, enter your complete blog url.

In Google Drive10

Open a separate browser window or tab to access your WordPress dashboard. Navigate back to your plugins and find UpdraftPlus on the list and click settings again. Go back into the settings tab and scroll down to where you selected Google Drive as your backup remote storage location.

In Google Drive9 edited

There is a link in the Google instructions of your plugin settings that you will need to copy and paste into the Google Create Client ID window. Copy and paste your link into the Authorized redirect URLs field in Google. Copy and paste from your own WordPress dashboard. Do not use the text from these print screens.

Click Create Client ID.

The screen will give you codes for Client ID and Client secret. Copy these codes and paste them into the appropriate fields in your UpdraftPlus plugin settings. Scroll down to save changes.

In Google Drive11 edited

Go back to the settings tab and scroll down to click the link to authenticate with Google. In the next screen hit Accept.

You should then see a success message. Congrats! You did it!

In Google Drive13

Testing your Back Up Plugin

You can test the plugin by going into the plugin settings and selecting the Current Status tab. You will see a scroll bar showing the back up progress and when the backup is completed, the date of the last backup job run will change to today’s date.

Now you can go into your Google Drive account and find the folder that was created during the set up process. You should find five new backup files in that folder if you retained the default settings to back up everything.

It is a good idea to check your plugin settings periodically to see what UpdraftPlus shows as the date of the last backup run. It is also a good idea to check your Google Drive periodically to check the date of the most recent backup files just to make sure everything is still working smoothly.
