WP Cerber and Google Authenticator

Thx, that works.

Tried also using your built-in 2FA. Cause then we thought we could use Cerber’s whitelisting to circumvent the 2FA for regular users.

But it didn’t work, I think because of the IP-address not recognized correctly, although we have the right settings in Cloudflare and WP Cerber.

Any ideas on that?

Is the fact that Cerber defaults to Legacy mode of any influence here (and why is that?).

Sorry for the many questions, just want to understand and make it easier for our writers.

Hi Gioni,

Thx, changed to Standard Mode.

But the IP problem isn’t solved, I already read that document and we already implemented that settings in WP Cerber and CloudFlare long ago.

See:

So all settings seem correct but the IP we see in Cerber is not the IP we see on Whatsmyip.

Greetings,
Olaf

Hi Gioni,

Thanks for your troubles but we are not there yet I’m afraid.

The IPv6 address that I’m seeing now is different from the one in the screenshot. It seems dynamic in contrast to the IPv4 address.

Could I use wildcards and if so how?

These are the IPv6 addresses I have seen in the past:

So what to enter in config then?

And what to do with other Authors and their IP’s? Can I enter a list or something?

Greets,
Olaf

PS: strange is though that I used to use the correct IPv4 in Cerber but that was a long time ago. But we have been using the same hosting and CloudFlare since years so that hasn’t changed.
