    I read a tons of this message on apache error_log:
    [Tue May 16 18:43:14 2017] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: inet_pton(): Unrecognized address in /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfUtils.php on line 276.

    The wordpress in installed on Centos 6.9 machine, with nginx web server as proxy cache of apache server. The wordfence version is 6.3.8.

    The visit rate of website is higher, about 100.000 pages for day.

    I read many docs on internet and on your forum, but i can resolve only if i diaable the code on line 276 of wfUtils.php with comment.

  • Hi @faberk,

    Could you please check if the IPv6 Support is enabled for your site:

    • Go to the Wordfence Tools page
    • Click the Diagnostics tab
    • In the Other Tests section, click the link that reads “Click to view your system’s configuration in a new window” (near the bottom of the page). This will open a Wordfence System Info page.
    • On that page, search for the IPv6 Support parameter and check the associated value

    I would also suggest you contact your hosting provider to check with them the server’s configuration, in particular the IPv6 setup.

    Also, I noticed you reported using WordPress 4.5.1. Is this correct? If so, you might want to upgrade.

    Hi wfyann,

    the IPv6 Support in enabled. The web site is hosted on our dedicated server, so i have any priviliges.

    Can you have other suggestion ?

    Hi @faberk,

    Sorry about the delayed update.

    The latest version (6.3.10) includes a fix for this type of issues.

    Can you confirm that the error message no longer appears after upgrading to Wordfence 6.3.10?
