These notifications are sent by their firewall to indicate that it has blocked its service because it is making anomalous connections, of type SYN_SENT, which are usually attributable to outward DDoS attacks.
If the firewall performs this type of action, it means that something abnormal or “different than usual” is being performed.
]]>While WF works on fixing the crypto, there’s a more urgent issue: the existence of this by now fairly common issue isn’t currently mentioned in your docs or the standard answer you provide to users reporting the /wflogs
‘permission’ warning.
At present, the slower MySQLi is still suggested by WF as the last-resort solution for people who still see this ‘permission’ warning after getting all the permissions right.
Recommended actions:
/wflogs
rules not updated.Geen regels geüpdatet. Controleer of je rechten hebt om te schrijven naar de folder /wp-content/wflogs.
I already checked the permissions on the folder. This is always 755 (rwx-rx-rx).
I already tried to disable all firewall settings (internal in Direct Admin) and in the router.
I already checked the rules.php file in the wflogs folder. On existing installations, no rules were added. On new installations, the file does not get filled.
I already enabled WP_DEBUG but no logs where added to the file.
Are there other aspects I can check to solve this problem?
Kind regards,
Hilbert
I’ve changed the server on the 5th of May and since then there was an issue with the plugin getting this error message.
The last rules update for the Wordfence Web Application Firewall was unsuccessful. The last successful update check was May 5, 2023 3:14 pm, so this site may be missing new rules added since then. You may wait for the next automatic attempt or try to Manually Update by clicking the “Manually Refresh Rules” button below the Rules list.
Rule Update Failed
No rules were updated. Please verify you have permissions to write to the /wp-content/wflogs directory.
Please if you can direct to fix this issue asap.
Thank you

We have enough memory allocated and tried everything possible.
Reinstalled the plugin and deleted the folder. Tried to refresh the rules manually as well.
Can anyone help???

The Wordfence Web Application Firewall cannot run. The configuration files are corrupt or inaccessible by the web server, which is preventing the WAF from functioning. Please verify the web server has permission to access the configuration files. You may also try to rebuild the configuration file by clicking here. It will automatically resume normal operation when it is fixed.
Attempting to rebuild the configuration files as instructed above gives the following error:
We were unable to write to ~/wp-content/wflogs/ which the WAF uses for storage. Please update permissions on the parent directory so the web server can write to it.
I do not have a wflogs
directory inside wp-content
, or anywhere else. Nor do I have a wordfence-waf.php
file. wp-content
has 775 file permissions, which I would expect to be sufficient.
Wordfence Diagnostics flagged that the server cannot write to?~/plugins/wordfence
?and that there are no files readable or writeable in?~/wp-content/wflogs
.
What I have tried:
1. Manually creating a wflogs
directory – no effect
2. Uninstalling Wordfence completely by deleting all associated files and reinstalling manually – no effect
Users are regularly being locked out of the site by Wordfence and I am having to manually disable the plugin each time.
Any suggestions for what I can try would be greatly appreciated.

]]>I am seeing this message in my dashboard and have followed the page it links to but the guidance is a bit vague:
https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/troubleshooting/?utm_source=plugin&utm_medium=pluginUI&utm_campaign=docsIcon#problems-reading-wordfence-firewall-config-data
“If the message still appears after reloading the page, you may need to fix file permissions on the files in the “wp-content/wflogs” directory, including the “wflogs” directory itself. Some hosting companies may need to do this for you, while most others allow you to do it yourself.”
What do you mean exactly by fix the file permissions? What permissions should the file in wflogs folder have?
Many thanks
