Allow Formitor through Wordfence

Updated August 2, 2026 · also available in the in-app Help center

Wordfence runs a firewall inside WordPress, and its rules can block the checks Formitor sends. Monitoring keeps working in protected mode, since the plugin reports out on its own. Allowlisting our IP addresses unlocks instant rechecks, real browser checks, and one click plugin updates.

Steps

  1. In the site's WordPress admin, go to Wordfence, then Firewall.
  2. Open All Firewall Options.
  3. Find Allowlisted IP addresses that bypass all rules.
  4. Add each IP address below, one per line, and press Save changes.

The addresses to allow

Add both. The second one is our backup server, which takes over automatically if the primary is ever down.

  • 185.147.157.155
  • 152.53.90.187

Check that it worked

Back in the Formitor dashboard, open the site and press the recheck button, or use the test again button if you still have the connection window open. The protected badge clears as soon as our checks get through.
