How to set up the Transparent proxy mode

Enabling the Transparent proxy mode in the WAF 2.0 module allows you to see the real IP addresses behind the WAF module instead of the server’s own IP address(es) without setting up the X-Forwarded-For header in your web server.

Instructions

We need to set this up in the WAF 2.0 module's Settings.

Open the Configuration menu on your BitNinja dashboard.
Select the setting level on the left side. (server-level, server group-level, account-level)
Select the WAF 2.0 module on the left side
Change the "Redirect options" parameter to "Transparent."
Click on the Save button at the top of the screen

Info

Litespeed

If you have the integrated brute-force protection module enabled in Litespeed, please make sure to add all IP addresses of your server to the Trusted IP list in Litespeed.
Adding 'ALL' is not sufficient; add all IP addresses or IP ranges used by the server to the list.

Please go to the LiteSpeed Configuration menu and select the Server and select General. In the General / Settings menu, you can see Use Client IP in Header. Here select Trusted IP Only. You can add the IP address(es) of your server under the General tab under Security at Access Control at the Allowed list. You need to add your server’s IP addresses separated with space. You can check out the syntax here: https://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/webserver/config/security#accessControl_allow

If you change the Logformat setting under the General tab/ Log tab to look like this: %a %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
Then the BitNinja SenseLog module will protect Litespeed from the brute force attacks and Litespeed's brute force protection can be disabled.

It didn't work for me.

Don't give up!
