Can anyone confirm this?

Works fine, I used this ages ago. I even made a plugin for it.

More like an IDS than a firewall, but still effective.

Alright just installed, will let you know if any problems occur. Does this really help site security though and are there any known incompatibility issues?

It won't really help security, as MyBB pretty much is secure enough against most of them, but it will tell you when people are launching attacks against your forum.

please where do i get the global.php ?

Its in root (main) folder only, lol.

I have installed but do not see anything else?

It prevents ip Vietnam!

I have done this but where do I see if anyone was to attack my forum?
