Whitelist CloudFlare IP Address Range

[Dennis]

I have BPS pro and I would like to whitelist Cloudflare IP address range by adding it to the htaccess file.  To do this, I would need to go to the htaccess File Editor in the BPS plugin and edit that file?

Would I add the IP range like this?

#(IPv4)
#Allow from 173.245.48.0/20
#Allow from 103.21.244.0/22
#(IPv6)
#Allow from 2400:cb00::/32
#Allow from 2405:8100::/32

Or should it be without the "#" like this?

#(IPv4)
Allow from 173.245.48.0/20
Allow from 103.21.244.0/22
#(IPv6)
Allow from 2400:cb00::/32
Allow from 2405:8100::/32

Do I need to add "order deny,allow" before the IP address list like so?

order deny,allow
#(IPv4)
#Allow from 173.245.48.0/20
#Allow from 103.21.244.0/22
#(IPv6)
#Allow from 2400:cb00::/32
#Allow from 2405:8100::/32

Thank you

The only known issue with Cloudflare and BPS Pro is the BPS Pro Plugin Firewall and Login Security > https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/cloudflare-login-security-and-plugin-firewall-not-working/.  Are you experiencing a problem?  If so, what is the problem?  You typically do not need to whitelist Cloudflare IP addresses in your root htaccess file.  A pound sign # in htaccess code means “commented out” text/code/etc.
