At my http://www.principledpolicy.come website Wordfence is indicating that ALL traffic to my site is from a single ip and host address. When I block that address as an experiment it throws an error telling me that I can't block my own ip address. The address I try to block is NOT my ip address.
Addditionally, all traffic is listed as coming from Albuquerque NM. I'm NOT anywhere near NM nor is my host.
The live traffic worked in earlier versions but seems to be broken now.
Hello michaelisc,
are you using Cloudflare or is your host using some other reverse proxy? If so you might have to change the setting "How does Wordfence get IPs" on the Wordfence "Options" page. You can find more information about that here

I had Cloudflare disabled due to having been locked out of my site. The lockout was caused by the firewall blocking the only ip address that is seen. I had the basic cache enabled. I disabled it, blew out the cache, logged out and logged back in but got the same ip address that I now see for everything in Live Traffic.
I read the articles proveded on ip address access and we're getting beyond my expertise rather quickly.
I am using Site5 as my host. Can I assume then that Site5 has changed the way it reports ip addresses or could it be some remnants of caching programs I no longer use hanging around? Or is something stuck in Wordfence?

OK, I was WRONG! I DID have Cloudflare enabled. It was enabled when I installed Wordfence some time ago and is still enabled. In fact I have just figured out I don't know how to disable it.
In any case, I changed the "How does Wordfence get IPs:" option to "Use the Cloudflare "CF-Connecting-IP" http header to get a visitor ip" choice. Worked very well.
Many thanks for your hard work. Now weighing the paid option as a possibility. Good plugin.
Thanks michaelisc, good job solving your issue and I'm glad I was able to point you in the right direction.
