How can i Whitelist an IP address in ModSecurity on CentOS 7?

[haidermaa]

Hi!

I would like to know how can i whitelist an IP address in ModSecurity?

I need to whitelist some IP addresses for GoDaddy Firewall as some of my plugins are not being blocked like Shortpixel.

Looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely,

Hayder

Introduction Use the following steps to whitelist an IP in ModSecurity. Procedure Log in to SSH or Terminal as the root user. Open the following file in a text editor: /etc/apache2/conf.d/modsec...

Can you try that work on your machine and see if that works well for you?

Hi!

Thanks for your reply!

I do have one issue with opening the file at this directory --> /etc/apache2/conf.d/modsec2.user.conf

I get that no such file exists, i'm pretty certain that i have ModSecurity Enabled but how do i access that file.

Looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely,

Hayder

If you don't already have that file on the system, feel free to create it. Apache already has an include setup to look for that file on the system, so you can create and edit that file as necessary.
