 * All traffic shows as my server IP, I checked the IP detection in tools>diagnostics
   >ip detection and it shows REMOTE_ADDR checked with my server IP. The correct
   IP is showing next to X-real-IP and X-Forwarded_For, but it doesn’t allow me 
   change to either of those options. How do I change the IP detection?

 * Hi [@mfhcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mfhcom/),
 * I’m glad you managed to find the solution.
 * For anyone experiencing the same problem, the “[How does Wordfence get IPs](https://www.wordfence.com/help/dashboard/options/#get-ips)”
   parameter can be modified in the “_General Wordfence Options_” section on the“
   _Wordfence –> Dashboard –> Global Options_” page.
