In reply to: [BruteProtect] My BruteProtect Dashboard not availableI wanted to clarify my post for people scanning this thread…
The cURL issue doesn’t stop BruteProtect from working – it’s still doing its job. The cURL issue stops the fancy my.bruteprotect.com dashboard from tying all my sites together in one display.

In reply to: [BruteProtect] My BruteProtect Dashboard not availableGood news and bad news…
DreamHost upgraded the server, and cURL now works. My “Simple Lightbox” plugin now works via an internal cURL call.
The bad news is that BruteProtect still doesn’t work. Now that I read the posts more closely, I realize it’s *your* cURL that isn’t working.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [BruteProtect] My BruteProtect Dashboard not availableDreamHost support responded. They’re running an older version of cURL on Debian.
They’re in the process up upgrading servers to Ubuntu which should also fix cURL. They expect to get to mine this month, so I’ll post back later.

In reply to: [BruteProtect] My BruteProtect Dashboard not availableI stand corrected. Full cURL verbosity shows that it’s attempting to reach the same IP address (Cloudflare) whether from the DreamHost command line or my Mac’s command line.
It would appear it’s an issue with cURL at DreamHost. I’ve submitted a support request.

In reply to: [BruteProtect] My BruteProtect Dashboard not availableI’m getting this error because I’m using a self-signed certificate. I did some troubleshooting, then submitted a support request at Bruteprotect, but never heard back.
My setup:
Site hosted at DreamHost with their free self-signed certificate.
I’m using Cloudflare, also with an SSL certificate, but it’s not self-signed, so no warnings when using a browser.However, since Bruteprotect is calling curl locally, my DreamHost site is local, so it’s bypassing Cloudflare.
If I could find a way to get Curl to ignore SSL errors in this instance, I think I’d be set.

In reply to: [BruteProtect] My BruteProtect Dashboard not availableJesse, deactivating Bad Behavior fixed it. Stephen mentioned that it’s a known conflict, so I’ll sit tight.
Can you turn off IPv6 at your host? That’s the first thing I did when I discovered this issue. Even with Cloudflare IPv6 turned off, my site sends itself many requests.
Oh, the IP address you posted *is* a Dreamhost server. From Manage Domains, I did the “Add IP” option, then got an IPv6 address. I think my IPv6 address started showing up on my Manage Domains page. I’ve since deleted the entries, so I don’t remember how I did it.
You need to install the Wordfence plugin on every WordPress site.
I have many WordPress sites on one server and they all have Wordfence plugins installed. Wordfence uses the most resources when scanning, and most of your sites will scan at different times, so it’s ok.
How are you changing the file? When I edit, I use an SSH-based editor that edits the file directly on the server.
I’ve turned off all my IPv6 because of this. I host on Dreamhost and used to have IPv6 addresses, but didn’t get much use out of them. No big loss for me.
Cloudflare settings: Automatic IPv6 is off; Pseudo IPv4 is also off.
As soon as Wordfence supports IPv6, I’ll turn it back on.
2 successful scans in a row. I guess that did it. Thanks!
I stand corrected. They *do* do special magic.
In that case, the original problem shouldn’t be happening. With mod_cloudflare (or the plugin), you shouldn’t have to whitelist Cloudflare IP ranges.

In reply to: [BruteProtect] My BruteProtect Dashboard not availableOk, deactivating Bad Behavior fixed it. Is there something I should be whitelisting?
Is it showing you a total numbers of attacks prevented?

In reply to: [BruteProtect] My BruteProtect Dashboard not availableI forgot to mention that I’m logging into my.bruteprotect.com account with my wordpress.com credentials…if that makes any difference. I didn’t create a dedicated login for my.bruteprotect.com.
