Blocking Cloudflare?

    Just saw that Clouflare (free CDN Package) used for one of my Dreamhost WordPress sites seems to be having a conflict with Wordfence:

    This email was sent from your website “Website” by the Wordfence plugin at Wednesday 20th of August 2014 at 11:02:04 AM
    The Wordfence administrative URL for this site is: https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=Wordfence

    Wordfence has blocked IP address 108.162.209.69.
    The reason is: “Exceeded the maximum number of page requests per minute for humans.”.
    User IP: 108.162.209.69

    Is this a known issue? What are recommended steps to prevent this?

  • Wordfence now supports IPv6 so here are those addresses with the IPv6 ones added. Let me know if I got this wrong, please.

    103.21.244.[0-22], 103.22.200.[0-22], 103.31.4.[0-22], 104.16.0.[0-12], 108.162.192.[0-18], 141.101.64.[0-18], 162.158.0.[0-15], 172.64.0.[0-13], 173.245.48.[0-20], 188.114.96.[0-20], 190.93.240.[0-20], 197.234.240.[0-22], 198.41.128.[0-17], 199.27.128.[0-21], 2400:cb00::[0-32], 2405:8100::[0-32], 2405:b500::[0-32], 2606:4700::[0-32], 2803:f800::[0-32]

    Seems to match the IPs we have listed on CloudFlare IP ranges.

    I hope so! Thanks for confirming Damon. I’m hoping someone from WordFence will confirm my formatting. I haven’t activated the Cloudflare stuff (nor IPv6 on my host) yet – still sorting out the canonical domains so this is untested.

    Wordfence is a totally brilliant plugin by the way. I’m setting up WP sites for the first time in 5 years. Things have changed a little in that time. CPanel hasn’t but…CPanel.

    If Damon says they are right, they are. Damon knows all. ??

    I just tested the IP’s and they are formatted correctly.

    lol. I wish I knew all:)

    ” I wish I knew all:)”

    You don’t have to know all, you just need to know more than me. That’s not hard ??

    Thank you both for your clarifications, you both have awesome toys.

    Thanks!
