How to whitelist IPv6 Ranges

Hi,

Try this as the range as it is 2400:cb00::/32 expanded:

2400:cb00:0:0:0:0:0:0 – 2400:cb00:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

Here is a blog post Mark made about Wordfence and IPv6 support:

I’ve found this too helpful for converting/expanding IPv6 addresses and ranges.

I saw that post, but in it, it says to:

You can now whitelist IPv6 addresses and are able to use our square bracket and dash notation for IPv6 address ranges you want to whitelist

So, with what you wrote above there are no square brackets like in your post. Just to add, I was adding the CloudFlare IPs to the WordFence whitelist. Unless, it’s not recommended to do that.

The dash notation is what I posted in the first response. This should be correct for the square bracket notation:

2400:cb00:[0-ffff]:[0-ffff]:[0-ffff]:[0-ffff]:[0-ffff]:[0-ffff]

I don’t think whitelisting the CloudFlare IP’s is necessary.

Awesome! I won’t worry about it.
