# toggle all firewall rules?

 * I would like to turn off most of the firewall rules, and doing it one by one 
   is extremely tedious, particularly as I have more than 1 WordPress installation.
   Why would I want to do this, you ask? Because much of it duplicates site-wide
   protection already in place. So again, is there some way to toggle all of the
   rules at once? Doing it directly in the database would be fine, but I can’t find
   them in there.

 * Hi [@ericr23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericr23/)
 * All firewall rules need to be disabled individually.
 * Your saved selection is not stored in the database if you are using the file 
   based storage engine.
