cloudflare ip's are being blocked while they are whitelisted

Hi.

I have this issue with CSF that I have added the cloudflare IPV4 ip's to the allow list and also csf.ignore but it still blocks cloudflare and I can't access websites while the csf is activated!

let say this (108.162.225.114) which blongs to cloudflare! the whole block is whitelisted in both allowed ips and ignore file!

I tried to lookup this ip in the blocked list 108.162.225.114, but it's not in the block list either! when I disable CSF it works fine! or when I flush the whole blocked ip's it also works!

whats the workaround for this? anybody with same issue?

tq in advance

Hi,
How can that be related to the .htaccess! it does not block them by itself. the cloudflare ip's are whitelisted in both csf.ignore and csf.allow files.

Its not related with .htaccess if it works when you disable csf

make sure its whitelisted in both csf.ignore and csf.allow files

Also its not blocked / denied in CSF !

Further check the iptables of Linux Firewall if you enabled it with CSF !

Next time read the LOG file in CSF to show you the IPs blocked of cloudflare & what is the reason !

I also suffering from this same problem from last month. I made a decision to remove the Cloudflaree from my website to make it work properly.

As SolidSnake said, you shoud add CloudFlare IPs to CSF.ALLOW and CSF.IGNORE:
