Every time when I renew my Let's Encrypt cert, Brute Force Monitor will count my server for "Failed Logins" and I will definitely fail to renew
( Why I'm sure Brute Force Monitor block it? because when I add my server ip in to Brute Force Monitor temporary(I will remove later), I can renew my cert without problem)

So if I add my server ip in to Brute Force Monitor's "skip list" is that safe?

Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem, because you don't want to have your own server blocked anyway.

In the Administrator settings there is an option called "Prevent 127.0.0.1 from being Blacklisted", do you have that enabled?

It's a bit odd that your system would be blocked for failed logins when renewing certs.
Maybe that is caused by some external system, maybe like some modsecurity rule or something?

Thank you, I haven't enabled "Prevent 127.0.0.1 from being Blacklisted" yet (but in Brute Force Monitor is not 127.0.0.1, that is the real server ip) , is this help?

Thanks
 
It might still help, I can't check that for you.
If it doesn't help, you can also send in a ticket asking how it's possible that your real server ip get's blacklisted only on LE renew. There must be a reason and maybe they can find it.
Or maybe somebody here on the forums can. I don't have an idea unfortunately.
