I am not very familiar with Incapsula but I am currently working in a project that needs to send socket messages using simple socket php scripts on both ends (scripts work in localhost):

-Client: Outside Incapsula Sends messages to server

-Server: Apache Inside Incapsula (under Incapsula protection) Receives messages from client (a single client)

Supposing the IP from the client is: 198.168.123.123, how should I proceed to allow connections from this IP as if the server had no Incapsula protection for this IP?

Or is it impossible?

Thank you.

  1. It's always recommended to restrict server access to Incapsula IPs: https://incapsula.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200627570-Restricting-direct-access-to-your-website-Incapsula-s-IP-addresses-

  2. You can restrict the client's source IP inside your Incapsula account very easily: www.incapsula.com/demo/settings_3.html

  3. If you want to restrict it in your code, you can use X-Forwarded-For and/or Incap-Client-IP headers: https://incapsula.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200627650-The-IPs-in-my-weblogs-have-changed

HTH, Ofer

  • While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. – Steven V Jun 25 '14 at 13:59
  • I gave the overall answer here, and it's very concise. as far as invalid answers go - on the contrary, these things change (e.g. IP ranges), so it's better to have an up2date answer from the FAQ than an obsolete one here. – ZigZag_IL Jun 25 '14 at 16:42
