Question

How do you whitelist an IP address in cPHulk Brute Force Protection?

 

Answer

To ensure that cPHulk does not block specific IP addresses, such as the server administrator's IP address, the IP addresses will have to be whitelisted in cPHulk.
You can whitelist IPs in cPHulk via WHM and from the command line.

WHM
  1. Log in to WHM as the root user
  2. Navigate to Home / Security Center / cPHulk Brute Force Protection
  3. Open the Whitelist Management tab
  4. Enter the IP address or IP address range to be whitelisted in the New Whitelist Records textbox
  5. Click the Add button
  6. Verify that the IP address or IP address range is listed under IP Address
Command line
  1. Log in to the server via SSH or WHM's Terminal as the root user

  2. Run the following command:

    # /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/cphulkdwhitelist 203.0.113.2

    Note: You will want to replace 203.0.113.2 with the IP you wish to whitelist within cPHulk.
