Security Tools

Vanta Panel gives each account a set of security tools (vPanel → Security and related pages) to protect its sites, all managed through your .htaccess.

Directory Privacy

Directory Privacy password-protects a folder on your site. Visitors must enter a username and password (stored securely with bcrypt) before they can access anything in that directory — useful for staging areas or private sections.

IP Blocker

IP Blocker lets you deny access to your site from specific IP addresses or ranges — useful for blocking abusive visitors.

Hotlink Protection

Hotlink Protection stops other websites from embedding your images and files directly (which uses your bandwidth). It checks the referrer so your assets only load on your own pages.

Leech Protection

Leech Protection guards password-protected areas against accounts being shared too widely, by watching for excessive logins.

Custom Error Pages

Error Pages let you set custom documents for HTTP errors (401, 403, 404, 500) per domain, so visitors see a branded page instead of a generic server error.

Two-factor authentication

Vanta Panel supports TOTP two-factor authentication. At the server level, the administrator can require 2FA for all admins and/or all accounts from the vWHM security policy — when enforced, users must enrol before they can use the panel.
