Imunify360 Whitelist IP | In Simple Steps

by | Aug 21, 2022

To whitelist, an IP addressed in Imunify360, you can easily follow any of the below steps in this article. At Bobcares, with our Server Management Service, we can handle your Imunify360 IP whitelisting issues.

Whitelist IP In Imunify360

For web servers running Linux, Imunify360 is an automated security solution with a multi-layer protection architecture. Immunify360 automatically disables a user’s IP address and adds them to the Gray List if they break the security policies. An administrator has the ability to transfer an IP address from the Gray List to the White List. So even after breaking Immunify360 security regulations, a user can access sites if their IP address is put on the White List.

In this article, we will explore 2 different ways to whitelist an IP address in Imunify360.

Method 1

To whitelist, an IP address in the imunify360 firewall, run the below command:

imunify360-agent whitelist ip add 1.2.3.4 --comment "one good ip" --full-access

Method 2

  • Firstly, create a folder.
    mkdir /etc/imunify360/whitelist/
  • Inside the folder, create a file with .txt extension, then add IPs we need to whitelist in CIDR format, one per line. Now reload the firewall with the command:
    imunify360-agent reload-lists

Whitelist Multiple IPs In Imunify360

Our Support team also frequently receives concerns regarding multiple IP whitelisting in Imunify360. The best solutions provided were as follows.

Method 1

First of all, create an external whitelist and then add it with the following.

  • Now make sure that the necessary directory exists:
    # mkdir -p /etc/imunify360/whitelist
  • Then create an external list using any name and “.txt” extension. All such files will be combined into the whitelist:
    # touch /etc/imunify360/whitelist/ext.txt

     

  • Populate the file with IP addresses or subnet addresses with a mask, e.g.,
    # cat /etc/imunify360/whitelist/ext.txt
    192.168.246.90
    192.168.246.0/24

     

  • Finally, reload the lists to apply the changes.
    # imunify360-agent reload-lists

     

Method 2

Put the IPs into thelist.txt file and execute the following command:

<list.txt xargs imunify360-agent whitelist ip add

Global Whitelist IP Management

With Imunify360 version 4.5 onward, an administrator can whitelist an IP not only on one server but also on a group of servers. So we can follow the below steps to do so.

  • Primarily, create a group and add servers to it. This can be done via CLN UI.
  • Once we create a group in CLN and added IPs to this group, go to Imunify360 > Firewall > White list or Black list.
  • On clicking the Add button, we can see the Scope column and controls to manage IP locally (on a current server) or globally (on a group of servers).
  • To change the scope to Group/Local, go to Firewall > White/Black list and select an IP.
  • Now select the Settings option in the Actions column.
  • Choose to change the scope to Group/Local.
  • Finally, in the opened popup click Yes, change scope to Group/Local, or click Cancel to close the popup.
