 * Can you use wordfence with WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL set up in the config? I thought
   I would be able to define( ‘WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS’, ‘*.wordfence.com’ ); but it
   seems I cannot start a scan.

 * Hey [@bitstormdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitstormdesign/),
 * If you remove the code does the scan run?
 * This seems correct, and I believe it should work. I’ll do some testing to be 
   sure.
 * Also, are you adding the code above the “That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.”
   live in the wp-config.php?
 * Do you have any other **WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS** defines? If so, can you please 
   try adding it above it and let me know if it works?
 * Please let me know.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’ve gone ahead and marked this
   thread as resolved.
 * Please feel free to open another thread if you’re still having issues with Wordfence.
