 * Wp-cerber blocks login to whitelisted ip after update 5.1. I’ve isolated the 
   issue on several websites. Plugin doesn’t allow password reset either. I’ve checked
   all the settings and eliminated all other plugin conflicts. This just started
   happening with the 5.1 update… There was no problem before.

 * Please check the anitspam settings. What’s enabled and what’s not. What events
   do you see on the Activity tab?

 * Anti spam is only enabled for bots on comment and registration form. Nothing 
   else. Activity shows me with the whitlisted ip failing to login.

 * That’s weird because whitlisted IPs are allowed to log in with no checks. Could
   you revert to the 5.0 version and reproduce that issue: [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-cerber.5.0.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-cerber.5.0.zip)

 * Downgrading to 5.0 eliminates the issue with no alterations to any settings.
