 * When trying to use the “Visual form builder” plugin my firewall (Watchguard) 
   says:
    _“Request denied by WatchGuard Firewall. Reason: IPS detected for “WEB
   admin.php access/Access Control”_
 * When I look this up I get this answer: [http://www.snort.org/search/sid/1301](http://www.snort.org/search/sid/1301)
 * Have you encountered this before? Have you got a solution?
 * A recomended action from snort.og is this:
    _“Disallow administrative access 
   from sources external to the protected network.”_
 * What is best practice for getting the plugin running in a secure manner?

 * Sorry, I have no idea how to help you here. I suggest contact the firewall people
   for help with this.

 * OK, I will.
    I thought you´ve heard of someone else with the same problem.
 * Does the plugin get access to admin.php? Does it need it? Are you changing that
   file in any way?

 * That’s a generic WordPress page that lots of plugins use. It needs it, yes.
