    I am having the exact same problem after setting up varnish with SSL termination, all ip address references default to 127.0.0.1 and using Varnish with a reverse proxy set up: Apache :443 -> Varnish :8080 -> Apache :8181 (backend)

    The plugin’s “Logged In Users” tab shows all localhost ip addresses, no longer detecting the actual IP address origin. The result is login lockdown, which I’ve now disabled, is locking out localhost/every user.

    Hi,

    I am not sure if this will help you or not but I think it is worth a try.

    Go to WP Security -> Settings -> Advanced Settings and test different options available.

    Let me know how you go.

    Thank you

    That is great news 🙂 I am marking this thread as resolved.

    Enjoy the plugin.
