However, there could be a false-positive occurring, which would be logged in the [Live Traffic](https://www.wordfence.com/help/tools/live-traffic/) page. * If there is a block on make.com’s IP there, check the reason after expanding the entry with the eye icon in the corner. You may find a specific firewall rule, or Wordfence setting stated here. The reason is shown in red text. * You may be able to manually allowlist it for the future by using the “**ADD PARAM TO FIREWALL ALLOWLIST**” button on the Live Traffic page. You can also read about [Learning Mode](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/learning-mode/) just in case having that enabled for a short time would help if you see it come up again. * Thanks, Peter. * Thread Starter [youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/) * (@youlikeitmobilus) * [8 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/#post-18655749) * Hi [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/) Thank you for your reply.The problem is , there is no blokking registered in the list for the connection action,Even on the hosting in the logfiles of the hostingprovider there is nothing to see even in learningmode.So I don’t know what to deblok or add to firewall allowlist. * Plugin Support [wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/) * (@wfpeter) * [8 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/#post-18657036) * Hi [@youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/), * If there’s nothing in Live Traffic _and_ trying to get make.com to connect when Learning Mode is enabled doesn’t work either, it’s highly unlikely the block is coming from Wordfence. With all of your other plugins active and Wordfence temporarily deactivated, does the connection go through? * Are there any response codes from your Make account that show that a server firewall or other service like Cloudflare is stopping it? You might see a 500, or 503, 403 etc. * Thanks again, Peter. * Thread Starter [youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/) * (@youlikeitmobilus) * [8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/#post-18661163) * Hi Peter [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/) , * I get message **Status Code Error: 401**and it can make the connection when I disable wordfence * Plugin Support [wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/) * (@wfpeter) * [8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/#post-18661333) * Hi [@youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/), * Wordfence only returns branded blocking pages of 403 and 503, so it’s interesting that with the plugin enabled, you’re getting a plain “401 Unauthorized” server response. It sounds like an issue communicating back to your site, but we can try to check that. * You can visit the **Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics** page and send the output to us at **wftest @ wordfence . com**.

It’d be great if you could provide a .txt copy instead and attach it to an email for **wftest @ wordfence . com**. The .txt diagnostic can be exported from the **Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics** page. * **Please include your forum username in the email’s subject line and tell us here once you’ve sent it.** * Thanks, Peter. * Thread Starter [youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/) * (@youlikeitmobilus) * [7 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/#post-18670566) * Hi Peter [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/) Sended the report now from my own mail (christiane@youlikeit.be) to [wftest@wordfence.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/wftest@wordfence.com?output_format=md) username is [@youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/) in the subjectlineThanks a lot * Plugin Support [wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/) * (@wfpeter) * [7 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/#post-18670631) * Hi [@youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/), thanks for sending that over. * I might’ve expected to see a problem with “Connecting back to this site”, or IP detection picking up a server IP but neither section points to a misconfiguration or anything struggling to communicate. I am suspicious of the 401 being a server response to make.com because Wordfence doesn’t respond like that. * When I query `https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wordfence/v1` in a web browser _or_ via cURL in the command line to replicate your issue, I receive the contents without anything stopping me. With no clear blocks in Wordfence, Learning Mode making no difference, and not being blocked externally I’m wondering if there’s a problem with how Make is trying to connect, if they are being blocked specifically by a server firewall, or another plugin (such as page redirection) could be redirecting their request to a page that isn’t at the expected URL. * Many thanks, Peter. * Thread Starter [youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/) * (@youlikeitmobilus) * [7 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/#post-18675065) * Hi Peter [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/), * Thank you for having a look at the logfiles. Yes I understand your reaction but if the wordfence plugin has nothing to do with it I am wondering why I can make the connection when I disable the wordfence plugin? * Plugin Support [wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/) * (@wfpeter) * [7 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-com/#post-18675097) * Hi [@youlikeitmobilus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/youlikeitmobilus/), * Conflicts with another plugin and Wordfence sometimes make it look like the cause. Disabling Wordfence will resolve the conflict in a scenario like that but will return when Wordfence is enabled again. * Can you make the connection with **all** of your other plugins disabled, and with a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Five? It’ll be effectively like a new install with just the Wordfence plugin running. If it works, re-enable your other plugins one-by-one until you see the blocking behavior again. * Let us know what you find out, Peter.
