What DNS names to whitelist for the scanner?
-
Hey.
When we’re working on sites, they’re usually behind authorisation. Sucuri is getting 401 Unauthorised.
We’d like to whitelist your servers, but we don’t know what pools/names to use. We’ve found three lists so far (two from Google, one from a support question 2.5 years ago here), none of them currently work.
What are the IPs/names to whitelist now?
Also, since Apache’s AUTHZ_CORE now includes a “forward-dns” directive, it might be prudent to set up DNS names like
whitelist1.sucuri.net
,whitelist2.sucuri.net
and so on, so that even when the IPs change, they’ll stay whitelisted once set up. Alternatively, a well-maintained entry namedscanner.sucuri.net
or something, with a fallback to that if you’re getting 401 (so that eventually this is the name Apache sees and can match).By the way, why didn’t
sitecheck.sucuri.net
throughsitecheck4.sucuri.net
work out? That was a lovely set of names to check against… Alas, still getting a 401 error report in Sucuri.
