keat Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I opened up my V6 web site today, for customers just to look at and gain feedback. I found this entry in the statistics log. Can anyone explain why it's picked up a 192.168 address ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is this site hosted at a commercial hosting provider? That is, as opposed to sitting on a development server on your home office LAN. If the hosting provider has this Class C network connected to the machine that has your site on it, then perhaps there is a maintenance utility involved, such as "Are you up and running?" type of utility. Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keat Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 It's a WHM CentOS dedicated server, sitting in a DataCentre. The subdomain has been password protected up until about 5 hours ago. I guess it's something I'll keep a sharp eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 There is also an aspect of proxies. The IP address determined may be influenced by the presence (or absence) of the Request Header "X-Forwarded-For". You can see what CubeCart loks at when trying to find the IP address at /includes/functions.inc.php, the get_ip_address() function. A dedicated server? Does it have its own dedicated public IP address? (I assume so.) But is that dedicated IP address "routed" onto the LAN network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keat Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 It does have a dedicated IP, however, I've no idea how its connected at the data centre. Interesting that you mentioned proxies though. The server has mod security installed which has been rejecting proxy connections from the states over the last few days. Noticing that the connection in question was 2 seconds, I wondered if mod security dropped it. I checked the server logs, but connot see anything obvious.

bsmither Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Be careful of times. CubeCart may be reporting the PHP time as set by "Default Timezone", while the Apache access logs may be logging UTC. So, if you can't find anything at 15:41 in the web server access logs, subtract (or add) your timezone difference from UTC and look there.
