False warnings

  • I am getting repeated messages from the plugin thus:

    12 failed login attempts (3 lockout(s)) from IP 5.188.62.76
    Last user attempted: [redacted the-name-of-an-admin]
    IP was blocked for 20 minutes

    However, when I search:
    1) My server logs – there is no trace of the IP address and
    2) Login to Cloudflare and check the firewall log – there is no trace of the IP address.

    Please explain ?

    Thank you

    What do you have in the “Trusted IP Origins” field?

    I don’t have any entries in there.

    Basically, this plugin is sending multiple warnings of many login attempts from IP addresses that cannot be found in any log anywhere.

    I look forward to your explanation.
