    When I logged into the site, wrong IP address has been tracked on my login.

    Live traffic showed something like this:
    NetRange: 162.158.0.0 – 162.159.255.255
    [131072 addresses in this network]
    CIDR: 162.158.0.0/15 (162.158.0.0 – 162.159.255.255)
    [131072 addresses in this network]
    NetName: CLOUDFLARENET
    NetHandle: NET-162-158-0-0-1
    Parent: NET162 (NET-162-0-0-0-0)
    NetType: Direct Assignment
    OriginAS: AS13335
    Organization: Cloudflare, Inc. (CLOUD14)
    RegDate: 2013-05-23
    Updated: 2017-02-17

    The location is tracked as “Central, Hong Kong”. I’m nowhere near Hong Kong. Can you please advise?

    Hi @wrip,

    Can you go into Wordfence -> All Options, under How does Wordfence get IPs:

    Try going through one-by-one the different options available until Your IP with this setting matches the IP of your machine. (You can get your own IP address by going to this link: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip )

    The IP address shown is from Cloudflare, which acts as a proxy to your site.

    Dave
