Hi @kklo, thanks for your question.
Take note of your IP – (note that detection can sometimes not be 100% accurate on cellular phone network connections): https://www.whatsmyip.org
Head over to Wordfence > All Options > General Wordfence Options > How does Wordfence get IPs and reference the area under that section that says Detected IPs and Your IP with this setting. Start from the top and check to see if any of the settings show that both of those show the same IP as the site above does.
If you’re using Cloudflare, you will most likely need to select “Use the Cloudflare “CF-Connecting-IP” HTTP header to get a visitor IP. Only use if you’re using Cloudflare.”
You may need to update your Cloudflare settings to allow your site to connect back to itself. You should be able to do this by going to your Cloudflare control panel. It’s worth checking all IPs associated with your server first (Find them at Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics > IP(s) used by this server)
- Login to Cloudflare
- Go to “Firewall”
- Click the “Firewall Rules” tab
- Click “Create a Firewall rule”
- Name the rule under “Rule Name”
- Set the “Field” under “When incoming requests match…” to “IP Source Address”
- Enter your site’s IP address(es) under “Value”
- At the bottom, under “Then…Choose an action” change “Block” to “Allow”
- Click “Deploy
Sometimes also adding our IPs here too can help. For your convenience, all of our IPs can be found here: https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/#servers-and-ip-range
Thanks,
Peter.
