ip address denied in htaccess

    Hi!
    Not urgent, but I’m curious. I happened to be looking on the server and read my htaccess file. Of course, it has the Wordfence code in there, and it’s working great.

    I did find one denied IP address at the top of the file. I went into Wordfence admin to see if I had blocked an IP address there (and forgot about doing it), but the admin says that no IP’s are blocked.

    Can you elaborate on this? Does Wordfence sometimes “edit” htaccess to block IP’s? Or might something else be happening?

    PS: as I’ve said before, this plugin is AWESOME!
    Thanks!!!

    Ah!
    I think I found the answer… WF is doing a “live” block of a fake Googlebot, and that’s where the extra IP came from.
