How do I identify Jetpack’s access to my database?

    I have a website that, for now, I don’t want made available to the public. For that, I can use .htaccess to lock out all visitors except for my IP address.

    The problem is that Jetpack needs to access my website, because I have installed and enabled the Jetpack plugin.

    Therefore, I need to specify Jetpack as an exception, allowing it through to the website.

    How can I identify Jetpack in order to allow it in? Does it have a specific IP address, or is there some other way to identify it?

    If it’s of any help, I use WP Cerber as the firewall. Perhaps WP Cerber has this facility (rather than me using .htaccess)?

    Thank you

    Hi @paddy-landau,

    By adding the following IPs range to your .htaccess rules, you should be all set:

    Give it a go and let me know how it goes. Thanks!

    Thank you, Stef, the link was perfect.

    I have added this to my .htaccess file along with a custom error document for 403 errors, and so far it seems to be working perfectly.

    Jetpack hasn’t complained; wp cron works; I can access the site from my specified IP addresses; and everyone else gets the custom error.
