Title: CloudProxy IP ranges Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # CloudProxy IP ranges * Resolved [sharkan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharkan/) * (@sharkan) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudproxy-ip-ranges/) * Hi, Is there any way to find Sucuri CloudProxy IP ranges? Our firewall blocks the requests. CloudFlare lists their IPs ranges here: [https://www.cloudflare.com/ips](https://www.cloudflare.com/ips) * Thanks * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/sucuri-scanner/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sucuri-scanner/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Trevald](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trevald/) * (@trevald) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudproxy-ip-ranges/#post-6160697) * +1 on this. * [yorman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yorman/) * (@yorman) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudproxy-ip-ranges/#post-6160702) * The IP addresses that you need to whitelist are listed at the end of this page[ 1] in the section _“Firewall Bypass”_, they are specific for each site in your account and that is why we do not provide a list of ranges, because the addresses are distributed. * [1] [https://waf.sucuri.net/?settings&panel=security](https://waf.sucuri.net/?settings&panel=security) * Thread Starter [sharkan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharkan/) * (@sharkan) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudproxy-ip-ranges/#post-6160798) * Hi, Aren’t they distributed by IP ranges logically somehow ? I would like to have a general solution for this and not for a specific web site. Amazon has a distribution like this: [https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json](https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json) Thanks * [yorman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yorman/) * (@yorman) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudproxy-ip-ranges/#post-6160801) * Yes [@sharkan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharkan/) that would possible, but I do not have that list, I will contact one of our system administrators and ask him what can we do to help you. For the time being, can you tell me the reason of why you need to whitelist _“ALL”_ ranges of IP addresses associated with our firewall and not just the ones that are listed per site in your CloudProxy account? And even if you do not have an account with us I would like to understand why you need to have them all. * Thread Starter [sharkan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharkan/) * (@sharkan) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudproxy-ip-ranges/#post-6160807) * Hi Yorman, * Thanks for your quick reply. I really appreciate your support. I would like to know all those ranges because I am working on a script/plugin and I am trying to properly identify the real client’s ip address. * According to [Sucuri Documentation](https://kb.sucuri.net/cloudproxy/Troubleshooting/same-user-ip) the right way to do it in a script is to check HTTP_X_SUCURI_CLIENTIP header. That’s perfect but… we know that the header can be easily spoofed so… in order to trust the HTTP_X_SUCURI_CLIENTIP header value I have to be sure that the request really comes from Sucuri CloudProxy network. * On the other hand I know that this can be done using gethostbyaddr function but I am trying to avoid using it because it slows down the loading time like crazy, is not properly working using IPV6 and the function’s performance is dependent on how effective the web server DNS resolution is. * I’ve already implemented a general solution for this and properly identifies if the request comes from CloudFlare, RackSpace, Incapsula or Amazon CloudFront. My next “_target_” is Sucuri WAF :)) * I would be pleased to share the script with you if you’d like to have a look at it. * Thanks * [yorman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yorman/) * (@yorman) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudproxy-ip-ranges/#post-6160832) * I understand now, and while reading the first two paragraphs of your last comment I was going to suggest you to execute a DNS lookup to reverse the domain to find out if the site is behind CloudProxy or not, but then you say in your third paragraph that you do not want to deal with performance issues in specific servers. * I wonder how do you keep the list of IP addresses of the other services updated, I mean, we have a list of all the IP ranges associated with the Sucuri firewall but it changes frequently, how will you update your script to keep this list updated? * If I was you I would send an UDP package [1] and read the response to see if the site is behind any of these firewalls, the issues with the native PHP functions that allow you to execute DNS queries is that they do not allow to set a timeout, that is why they are expensive in production mode, but you can easily write a custom function using _“fsockopen”_ [2] and _“stream\_set\_timeout”_ [3] to have a good performance and accurate data in real-time. * You can send a copy of your code to `[deleted]` _(email deleted to reduce span)_ if you want, maybe after I check the code I could give you more information on how to implement this for CloudProxy. * [1] [https://github.com/purplepixie/phpdns](https://github.com/purplepixie/phpdns) [ 2] [http://php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php)[ 3] [http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php) * Thread Starter [sharkan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharkan/) * (@sharkan) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudproxy-ip-ranges/#post-6160852) * Fantastic!
