 * Hi,
 * I’m facing an issue that I hadn’t thought of:
 * Now that all traffic goes through Sucuri I can’t block IP spammers because everyone
   shows the same Sucuri IP in my dashboard (see pic).
 * And spam definitely seems to have gone up.
 * Any idea how to tackle this?

 * Hello, sorry for the delay.
 * If you are still experiencing the same problem with the IP address, you can fix
   that following this guide [1]. If you installed the plugin, it will automatically
   fix this for you as long as your website continues running behind the Sucuri 
   Firewall as you can see in the code [2].
 * If you continue having problems, please contact us here [3].

 * I “fixed” the issue back then by closing the comment.
 * But then I needed to address it again when I installed a paywall and.. It seems
   to be working so far, thank you so much!!
