Wp Security doesn’t recognize external IP addresses

    Hello,

    since last update of the plugin, all external IP addresses are showed as internal IPs “10.10.2.*” in Login Lockdown -> Failed Login Records.
    Failed logins of one person results in blocking of any other login try of users because all have the same IP.

    We are using multisite.

    Any solution for this behavior?

    Regards,
    Jacob

  • Hi Nicole,

    Can you try this, please put this into your wp-config.php

    $output = (preg_split(‘/:/’,$_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’]));
    echo $output;

    Then view your website’s front page, and screen shot what is the ip address that is shown there.

    Thanks!

    Best regards,
    Soon Seng

    Hi all,
    I am in the process of improving the IP address retrieval function in this plugin and hope to have the improvements in the next release which should be coming soon.

    Hi @c-nicole,
    If you wish you can get in touch with me using my contact form and I will give you an updated aiowps zip file when it is ready.
    The update will contain some improvements regarding IP address retrieval and it would be good if you can independently confirm whether the changes address your issue.
