Hi @wfgerald
Apologies for the silence, its been a busy couple weeks.
I am indeed the host of this system, im running an OPNSense Firewall and then using NAT to present my wordpress website to the outside world. Wordfence is of course running on my WordPress site. The WordPress website is running on a CentOS server which has an internal IP address connecting to the internal NIC of my FW.
Wordfence is telling me that all my traffic and blocked attacks are coming from my Internal IP of my FW. – which does kinda make sense given the traffic is passed from the WAN of my FW to the LAN as part of Network Address Translation (NAT) but surely im not the only person in the world to have this kind of setup.. so i would of thought there would of been others having the same issue.
I could always switch to a reverse proxy and then tag the original ip header but for now im using NAT.
Pulling my hair out at this and of course getting false results too so any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
R.
Hey @wfgerald
Any other ideas or things that i can try?
switching out those options on How Does Wordfence Get IPs didnt work for me and still shows my internal FW interface ip.
Thanks.
Hi @wfgerald
Ive tried to amend that setting to use the other options but this hasnt changed anything. – it still shows my FW internal IP Address.
All im doing on the FW is using a NAT to port forward the external request to our wordpress server which sits behind the FW.
Thanks
