Mysterious firewall issue w/ CF and WP Engine for REST API calls from Azure app
So for anyone following up on this later, it turned out we had to put our Azure apps on a static outbound IP address, and added phony HTTP headers for user agent, cookies, etc. to mimic a full browser request. That finally got us past the captcha page.
I now also think the problem was primarily in WP Engine's CF instance, but at least some of the Captcha responses appeared to come from CF directly, which I'm still confused about it.

Mysterious firewall issue w/ CF and WP Engine for REST API calls from Azure app
(I wanted to get any more ideas here of what to check, but then I'm probably going to follow up with WPE's support and see if I get any different result with another support person)

Domain proxying not working after updating A record
Yep, the CNAME seemed to solve it.
I recall I'd tested it with CNAME at one point, but WPEngine wouldn't validate the domain and I never saw it propagate. But I also remembered I'd seen that before and tried both with the CF proxy disabled, and it all worked fine. So once it was validated in WPE I went back and turned the proxy back on, and all the traffic started showing up in my CF logs, and was loading the site from WPE. Success!
I also tested a couple of workers routes, and those appear to be working now too.
So it was the CNAME all this time, but with some really complicated underlying circumstances. But a simple solution in the end.
Thanks a lot. This was a big help! I'll also keep note of your other tips at the end, if anything related to this comes up again.

Domain proxying not working after updating A record
@Chaika Super helpful. Been digging into this more - you've definitely pointed me in the right direction. So my understanding is that I DO want the O2O (Orange-to-Orange) enabled for our plan?
According to this it appears to be enabled automatically when using CNAME to
wp.wpenginepowered.com for the Advanced Network we're on, even for non-Enterprise customers.

I think I'll experiment again with using the CNAME to hook things up and see if I can get it working, then I might try reaching out to the PM.
Thanks!5 replies
