    Ine of my sites throws this error during the Scan Engine.
    What can be the problem here?

  • Same here – scan completes and then displays this error.

    As I understand from other threads, it is a server/host setting.

    Hi,

    I think you will need to contact your hosting company to have this resolved. DNS queries should return the site’s own DNS records or an error message (while in this case, Wordfence is receiving a blank response), so it’s possible the host is blocking something unintentionally or has misconfigured the server’s DNS settings.

    Could this have something to do with using Cloudflare?
    I’m getting the same errors in my log.
