    Hi,

    Can you please provide an answer why Wordfence is blocking all previous visitor IP addresses from time to time?

    Today Wordfence blocked my (admin) and all previous visitor IP addresses for 30 min, shown in my wflogs.
    I am using Wordfence for 2 years on several websites, and I had this issue for several times.

    I received recommendations to deactivate Wordfence, as it is creating a lot of other problems.
    Can you please recommend a solution?

    Tank you.
    Kind regars,

    Hi,

    Wordfence is a very good security plugin, it is super light and works great!

    I received the recommendations regarding past and present issues with it from the web hosting provider… but after I made a thorough analysis, the hidden issue was with other plugin: Really Simple SSL.

    Solved it, deactivated Really Simple SSL and will change manually the links from http to https.

    Thank you.
    Kind regards,
