I have a site in Hosting set to private. Until it's setup I don't want anyone to hit the pages. But the Hub (Uptime, Automate?…:wink: can't access this site either:
"Your site appears to be blocking our uptime monitoring bot. Please make sure your site is accessible to the public Internet, and whitelist the IPs (66.135.60.59, 34.196.51.17, 52.57.5.20) in your firewall settings."
So my recommendation is that during initial setup that .htaccess get configured to allow WPMU DEV IPs before the .htpasswd challenge.
Thanks!
