 * Hi [@wrip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](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
