Unable to Install NinjaFirewall in an Environment with Proxy Connection
-
I am setting up WordPress in an environment with a proxy connection. When attempting to install NinjaFirewall in this environment, the following error message is displayed:
Error: The installer cannot download the security rules from www.ads-software.com website.
1. The server may be temporarily down or you may have network connectivity problems? Please try again in a few minutes.
2. NinjaFirewall downloads its rules over an HTTPS secure connection. Maybe your server does not support SSL? You can force NinjaFirewall to use a non-secure HTTP connection by adding the following directive to your wp-config.php file:
define(“NFW_DONT_USE_SSL”, 1);I believe this occurs because, while NinjaFirewall is trying to download security rules, WordPress is unable to connect to the server where the security rules are hosted. I would like to allow this connection to the server, but would need to know the hostname or IP address. Can you provide me with that information?
I have tried the following:
- As instructed, I tried using define(“NFW_DONT_USE_SSL”, 1); but nothing has changed.
- I have confirmed that the openssl functionality is enabled.
- No critical errors are displayed in “Site Health”.
- I have allowed *.nintechnet.com, but it seems that the issue remains unresolved.
