 * Hi.
 * I’m hosted at elementor.com and using free Wordfence plugin.
 * If I optimize Wordfence firewall, it says will create a user.ini file, and also
   say that the server uses NGINX.
   I’d optimized firewall, and received a message
   from Wordfence about a critical error in the possible access to the “user.ini”
   file. I clicked on “fix”, but it responded saying that: “You are using a server
   with Nginx and you use a FastCGI php5-fpm processor. You will need to delete 
   or hide these files”. My hosting said: “At the moment, Elementor Cloud Website
   does not count with the capacity to edit/delete/hide files within the NGINX webserver
   configuration as per the Cloud Website infrastructure at this moment.Kindly note
   that .ini files are not used by Elementor or by the Elementor Cloud hosting platform.
   That said, the customers that use default setups or that do not use plugins that
   use such files are safe.”
 * Is my website secure without optimize Wordfence firewall?
 * Thank you in advance,
   Gabriel.

 * Hi [@galapu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/galapu/),
 * Elementor Cloud, for the reasons you’ve highlighted above is a host where Wordfence
   can’t currently fully optimize the firewall. You can continue to use Wordfence
   on “Basic Protection”, but naturally that is not as secure and not our recommended
   state.
 * Thanks,
   Peter.
