Allow wordfence via WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS ??

Hi @youaresam2,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

It’s best to whitelist Wordfence’s IP addresses, since ours never change. You can read more about this here: https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/#servers-and-ip-range

Plugin services are hosted on the following IP addresses:

44.239.130.172
44.238.191.15
35.155.126.231

Wordfence Central and plugin services also use the following IP addresses to connect to sites:

54.68.32.247
44.235.211.232
54.71.203.174

The whitelist setting is located at Wordfence > Firewall > All Firewall Options > Whitelisted URLs. You’ll need to add the IP addresses listed above.

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,
Tiffany

First of all, thanks for the reply.

I modified the configuration file as follows.
define(‘WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS’, ‘*.wordfence.com , 44.239.130.172, 44.238.191.15, 35.155.126.231, 54.68.32.247, 44.235.211.232, 54.71.203.174, *.google.com, *.googleapis.com , *.mailgun.net’);

However, even though I followed the above method, wordfence on my server says that the scan failed.

Wordfence Full Activity Log
[Apr 26 18:14:40:1650964480.988062:2:error] Scan terminated with error: There was an error connecting to the Wordfence scanning servers: The user blocked the request over HTTPS.

[Apr 26 18:14:25:1650964465.311961:1:info] Scan stop request received.

So, in my opinion, the above options of wordpress can be set only in domain rule.
That’s why I need the domain name instead of the server ip address you gave me.

please Help me~

Hi again @youaresam2,

The whitelist setting is located at Wordfence > Firewall > All Firewall Options > Whitelisted URLs. That’s where you’ll need to add the IP addresses listed above.

Also, since you’re a Premium Wordfence Customer, I highly recommend opening a support ticket at https://support.wordfence.com if you continue to experience this issue. They will be able to assist you faster and more efficiently.

You can also access premium support via the Help menu item in the plugin, Help link on the plugin’s Dashboard page, on our documentation homepage or via the HELP link in the footer of all wordfence.com pages.

Thanks,
Tiffany

Hello~

I have already registered the ip in the whitelist.
But the same problem persisted.

The whitelist setting is located at Wordfence > Firewall > All Firewall Options > Whitelisted URLs. That’s where you’ll need to add the IP addresses listed above.

Seeing you gave the same answer to my second question, I thought.
Am I obligated to do premium customer service, not just a recommendation?

I’ve gotten quite a bit of information from the support of this plugin so far. And I think other users will as well. That’s why I try not to ask premium questions that are available only to a few if possible.

But if you say I can only get answers through premium questions, of course I will.

However, since my question is due to the option provided by default in WordPress, I honestly doubt whether it is necessary to do so.

I look forward to your kind reply.

Hi @youaresam2,

Did you add the IPs to the server firewall allowlist (not the Wordfence allowlist)? We only make connections on port 80 and 443; this should be outbound and inbound.

I mention the Premium support ticket option since you’re entitled to it as a Premium customer. The support ticket route will allow us to assist you faster than we’re able to here on the forums.

Thanks,
Tiffany
