 * Hi there, we use Cerber and the Redirection plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/))
   on many sites. We just launched a new site, and after activating Cerber, the 
   redirects we setup are blocked by Cerber.

 * We confirmed this by deactivating Cerber, and testing the redirects (they worked).
   We then tried disabling the “hardening” options, however the issue remained. 
   Only complete deactivation solves the issue.
 * Since we use Cerber and Redirection on most of our client websites we need to
   make certain these plugins play well together.
 * Can we whitelist the Redirection plugin somehow?

 * Hi!
 * What URL did you set up for the redirection? Is it a particular custom URL or
   you just check some checkbox in the settings of the redirection plugin? What 
   URL (a web page) do you visit to get this message?

 * I was redirecting an old page ([https://mydomain.com/about-us.php](https://mydomain.com/about-us.php))
   to the new “about” page: [https://mydomain.com/about/](https://mydomain.com/about/)
   on the website. This was a custom/manual redirect, not a “setting”.
 * When I attempt to access the URL, the address stays at [https://mydomain.com/about-us.php](https://mydomain.com/about-us.php)
   and gives me the following error:
 * “We’re sorry, you are not allowed to proceed
 * Our server stopped processing your request. Your request looks suspicious or 
   similar to automated requests from spam posting software.
 * If you believe you should be able to perform this request, please let us know.”
 * I’ve confirmed the behavior on two separate websites with Redirection/Cerber.

 * You just need to add the following string to the **Request whitelist** setting
   field on the Traffic Inspector settings page.
 * `/about-us.php`
