Is that safe to whitelist my server ip in modsecurity?

[ASUS]

I see modsecurity always block my ssl renew because curl ( I was blocked this user-agent because too much of bot rip my server) OR .well-known/acme-challenge ( I don't know why )

so is that safe to whitelist my server ip in modsecurity by this rule?

SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "@ipMatch 123.123.123.123" "phase:1,id:999906,nolog,allow"

Thanks

If you believe that is a false positive, then it is safe to whitelist the rule not just an IP if u use dynamic IP, ur IP will keep changing. Never had an issue modsecurity block SSL renew (with my default setup).
