 * Yes, it can replace ModSecurity.
    See this post about how both filtering engines
   work very similarly: [An introduction to NinjaFirewall filtering engine](https://blog.nintechnet.com/introduction-to-ninjafirewall-filtering-engine/).

 * Hi, thanks for your reply.
 * Is this MOD Sec replacement automatically activated when the plugin is activated,
   or is there any specific settings need to be altered to make this work?

 * It’s always running when the plugin is activated.

 * Hi, just to get some clarification:
 * Does NinjaFirewall _take precedence_ over Mod Security, or vice-versa, or does
   it _get along_ with Mod Security? And is there some sort of hand-off where they
   _both_ filter php requests, or just one does the filtering?
 * Wondering if they’re redundant or even stronger together.

 * ModSecurity will come first and you can use it with NinjaFirewall, there’s no
   problem or conflict.
    You can use ModSecurity to filter some generic threats 
   that could affect the whole server, and let NinjaFirewall handle the rest.
