I am receiving the following in my logs from an autoposting service that I want to be able to post on my site but looks like BPS is blocking it:
[403 GET / HEAD Request: October 3, 2014 7:48 am] Event Code: PSBR-HPR Solution: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/security-log-event-codes/ REMOTE_ADDR: x.x.x.x Host Name: [removed for privacy] SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.1 HTTP_CLIENT_IP: HTTP_FORWARDED: HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP: REQUEST_METHOD: GET HTTP_REFERER: REQUEST_URI: /wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/403.php QUERY_STRING: HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1) I have added the IP address to be allowed in the XML-RPC DDoS Protection code in .htaccess # XML-RPC DDoS PROTECTION # You can whitelist your IP address if you use A Weblog Client # or want to whitelist your IP address for any other reasons. # Example: uncomment #Allow from x.x.x. by deleting the # sign and # replace the x's with your actual IP address. Allow from 99.88.77. # Note: It is recommended that you use 3 octets x.x.x. of your IP address # instead of 4 octets x.x.x.x of your IP address. <FilesMatch "^(xmlrpc\.php)"> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from x.x.x. <---Note: I have the first 3 octets of the IP address entered </FilesMatch>
Is this all that needs to be done to rectify this issue?
