Hello again,

Just checking if you have seen my reply yet?

All the best,

M.

I don’t know why the text came out that way. Maybe because I copied and pasted it from a word document?

Hi Peter,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I went to Firewall settings -> Blocking -> and there I see a notification saying: "Note: Blocking is disabled when the option "Enable Rate Limiting and Advanced Blocking" is off."

Should this be turned on? (I don't know much about these/tech things).

On the Live Traffic page, I do see the traffic.

Another question while I have you here if you don't mind:

I see the Firewall protection is on 40%, and the notification saiys I can do these things to improve it:

Enable Real-Time IP Blocklist.

16%

Optimize the Wordfence Firewall.

8%

Enable Rate Limiting and Advanced Blocking.

Can you tell me where to do this, if it's a good idea to do them? (I have the free version).

About the the test you suggested; I got this error message when I put the URL where you said I should put it (Allowlisted IP addresses that bypass all rules):

An error occurred while saving the configuration: Please make sure you separate your IP addresses with commas. The following allowlisted IP addresses are invalid: (https://mywebsite.com/made-up-page.php)

Am I doing it wrong?

On the Diagnostic page I see this in red:

Connecting back to this site via IPv6 (not required; failure to connect may not be an issue on some sites

wp_remote_post() test back to this server failed! Response was: cURL error 7: Couldn't connect to server

Thank you again for your help, I appreciate it.

M.

You’re so very welcome Kousik, my pleasure! I’m so happy to give it – You’re awesome! ??
