The Close Direct Access option is enabled by default.
The setting can be modified from the Dashboard by navigating to the Configuration menu -> Advanced Modules -> IP Reputation -> Advanced Settings tab.
Disabling this option is recommended to ensure that the BitNinja WAF module functions correctly when your server uses Network aliases.
Network aliases are virtual interfaces that allow a single network interface card (NIC) to have multiple IP addresses. These aliases enable you to treat a single physical network interface as if it were several distinct interfaces, each with its own IP address. This is useful in various scenarios, such as hosting multiple websites on different IPs, setting up virtual networks, or managing different services on separate addresses.
