LeadShield Setup Guide

1. Connect a WordPress site

1. Create an account and verify your email.
2. Add your website from Sites.
3. Generate an API key from the dashboard.
4. Install the WordPress Connector plugin.
5. Paste the SaaS URL and API key, then click Save & Test Connection.

2. Manage protection from the cloud

Go to Sites → Protection Settings. The connector only sends email, IP and context data; LeadShield Cloud decides whether to allow, monitor or block.

• Set Protection Mode to Monitor while testing.
• Enable Email/IP layers per context: registration, login, checkout, Contact Form 7, comments, sitewide visits and API.
• Configure Email Firewall rules and HardShield IP rules from the same page.

3. Test sitewide IP blocking

For normal page visit blocking, all of these must be enabled:

4. Create SafeLinks and rotators

SafeLinks protect external traffic without requiring a plugin on the destination website. They perform IP-only screening before redirecting visitors.

1. Open SafeLinks.
2. Add a destination URL and optional rotator URLs.
3. Choose round-robin or random rotation.
4. Copy the generated protected link.

5. Universal API protection

Developers can call the cloud endpoint directly before accepting leads, signups or orders from custom websites.

6. Plans, billing and limits

LeadShield supports Free, Starter, Pro and Agency plans with monthly usage, site and API key limits. PayPal subscriptions can activate paid plans automatically.
