Hello all,
I've secured wp-admin folder for my WP instance via OpenLiteSpeed GUI: Virtual Hosts -> Context:
URI: /wp-admin/
Location: $DOC_ROOT/wp-admin/
Accessible: Yes
Access Allowed: My IP HERE
Access Denied: *
All other settings are set to default and it is working as expected only I have access to wp-admin folder.
I've added additional context for admin-ajax.php file so that it could be accessed, like this:
URI: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Location: $DOC_ROOT/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Accessible: Yes
All other settings to default.
However this is causing issues with QuickCloud CND for example:

How I can still have restricted wp-admin access to my IP only and at the same time to not have such issues with admin-ajax.php ?
Thank you in advance.
