    Thanks for sending those reports @mnppdt28

    Head over to your site and go to Wordfence > All Options > General Wordfence Options > How does Wordfence get IPs and reference the area under that section that says Detected IPs and Your IP with this setting.

    Switch this to X-Forwarded-For. It should then start detecting the correct IP address.

    Let me know what you find!

    Thanks!
