cloudflare along with wordfence

Hello @djrishi and thanks for reaching out to us!

You won’t always need to choose the CF-Connecting-IP but the option should be there regardless. Can you send me a screenshot of what you see?

The most important thing to do with Cloudflare is to check and see if the Scan’s are completing within the Wordfence > Scan page. If they arent, then you will have to do the following:

You may need to update your Cloudflare settings to allow your site to connect back to itself. You should be able to do this by going to your Cloudflare control panel.

• Login to Cloudflare
• Go to “Firewall”
• Click the “Firewall Rules” tab
• Click “Create a Firewall rule”
• Name the rule under “Rule Name”
• Set the “Field” under “When incoming requests match…” to “IP Address”
• Enter your site’s IP address under “Value”
• At the bottom, under “Then…Choose an action” change “Block” to “Allow”
• Click “Deploy

Once you have added your site to the Cloudflare Whitelist, head back over to your site and attempt another scan.

Let me know if this helps and if you have any questions!

Thanks again!

Thanks

That’s great that the scans are working!

As for the CF-Connecting-IP, you most likely won’t need that if the scans are working but it looks like you might have been in a different area for that setting. You can find it at Wordfence > All Options > General Wordfence Options.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the help and for pointing me to the right area.
