Not logging – Known issues with other plugins?

  • I’ve included the following lines in wp-config
    define(‘WP_FAIL2BAN_BLOCK_USER_ENUMERATION’,true);
    define(‘WP_FAIL2BAN_BLOCKED_USERS’,’^(admin|DOMAIN)’);
    //the following line is for CloudFlare
    define(‘WP_FAIL2BAN_PROXIES’,’103.21.244.0/22,103.22.200.0/22,103.31.4.0/22,104.16.0.0/12,108.162.192.0/18,131.0.72.0/22,141.101.64.0/18,162.158.0.0/15,172.64.0.0/13,173.245.48.0/20,188.114.96.0/20,190.93.240.0/20,197.234.240.0/22,198.41.128.0/17,199.27.128.0/21′);

    In my auth.log, I get lines like these;
    Jul 28 09:14:59 xxxxxxxx wordpress(www.xxxx.no)[11984]: Blocked authentication attempt for admin from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    I get mails from WordFence where WordFence has blocked a login attempt, but none of these is logged in auth.log

    I’m using WordFence and Login LockDown on this site.
    Is any of these blocking functions of wp-fail2ban ?

    If I turn off WordFence and Login LockDown, the plugin writes to the log.
    Would really like to have this plugin work without removing these

    If you set Mask Login Errors in Login LockDown then you’ll get no logging. However, I don’t understand why you want that plugin if you’re using fail2ban – they do exactly the same thing.

    There doesn’t seem to be a conflict with WordFence. However, you should ensure that the options for WP-f2b and WordFence don’t overlap; for example, blocking user enumeration – use either WP-f2b or WordFence to do it, but not both.
