 * Hi,
   on several sites, I am encountering an issue where the firewall prevents 
   multiple plugins from fetching updates.A developer of one of the plugins suggested
   that the firewall might be the cause. I disabled the firewall on one site, and
   the updates were successfully retrieved.Could you take a look at this? Or perhaps
   advise me on the best settings to use so that I can still keep the firewall active?
   Best regards,Kerstin

 * Hi [@kerstin3494729501](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kerstin3494729501/),
 * This should not be a general issue, as it has not been reported by any other 
   recent users. Could you please let me know how the plugin update was performed
   and which plugin update caused the issue?
 * AIOS → Firewall → PHP Rules has several settings that could potentially cause
   a conflict. Could you please disable the following settings and check if the 
   issue is resolved?
 * AIOS → Firewall → PHP Rules → WP REST API
   Disallow unauthorized REST requests:
   Please uncheck this option and save the settings.
 * AIOS → Firewall → PHP Rules → URL Security
   Deny bad query strings: Please uncheck
   this option and save the settings.
 * AIOS → Firewall → PHP Rules → String Filtering
   Enable advanced character string
   filter: Please uncheck this option and save the settings.
 * AIOS → Firewall → PHP Rules → 6G Firewall Rules
   Enable 6G firewall rules: Please
   uncheck this option and save the settings.
 * After disabling these settings, please check whether the issue still occurs.
 * Regards
