How to Get a complete list of whitelisted and blacklisted IP addresses

Perhaps this is the same problem I am having. With the new version, nothing appears to be blocked, or at least I can’t find a list of any blocked IP addresses. I can see the live traffic list, but nothing is marked as blocked in that list, either.

Consequently, I can’t tell if the firewall is working or not.

Hi Nancy,
You can get a list of the blocked IPs in (Wordfence > Firewall > Blocking), however you should know that IPs will be blocked for the time set in “How long is an IP address blocked when it breaks a rule” under (Firewall > Firewall Options > Rate Limiting).

If you want to whitelist an IP address on your website, you can add it to “Whitelisted IP addresses that bypass all rules” under (Firewall > Firewall Options > Advanced Firewall Options).

Let me know if you have any further question,
Thanks.

Hi wfalaa,
I’ve used this for adding IP addresses to the whitelist. However, the IP addresses do not show up after this is set up so I can’t see what has already been added. In the older version of WordFence, I was able to see the IP addresses listed in the php file to check and make sure the list was accurate.
Thanks!
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
Do you mean that “Advanced Firewall Options” page doesn’t save the data after hitting “SAVE CHANGES” button?
Please check (/wp-content/wflogs/config.php) and search for “whitelistedIPs”, let me know what you will get there.

Thanks.

Hello wfalaa, wfchloe,

Sorry for the delayed response. I checked the php file and it is too difficult to read for the IP address list. I noticed IP addresses listed for viewing Whitelisted IPs on the WordFence Advanced Options section. So the Whitelisted IPs are showing. However, the Blacklisted IP addresses are not showing. Any ideas on how to see the Blacklisted IP addresses? Thanks!

Best Regards,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
If I understand your question correctly, you should see the blocked IPs in (Wordfence > Firewall > Blocked).

Thanks.
