Hey there, I received an email from 'www-data' informing that my local ip, which I use to access my vbox host was blacklisted by mod_evasive. I've tried to whitelist my ip by editing the apache2 conf file and adding: Code: # nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf DOSWhitelist XXX.XX.X.XX But it doesn't seem to work. Should I instead whitelist the IP through /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-mod_evasive.local? (Or some other method) If so, how?
I will answer my own question.. did a bit more searching. Edit: Code: #nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/evasive.conf Add: DOSWhitelist XXX.XX.X.XX UPDATE: I need to take a little egg to the face... my original whitelisting method was correct: Code: # nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf DOSWhitelist XXX.XX.X.XX I just noticed another issue with modsecurity causing my current issues
