 * Are you accessing your website using `localhost/` or a local IP address?
 * Please try this:
 * 1. Make a file called `test.php` located in the document root (in the same folder
   as index.php)
 * 2. Inside, put this: `<?php echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];`
 * 3. Go to your website at /test.php, for example ([http://23.23.23.23/test.php](http://23.23.23.23/test.php))
 * Let me know if the output of this page is the same IP address as the one you’re
   seeing in the firewall settings.

 * Hi [@ipanematravels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipanematravels/),
 * Can you find your IP address from [this link](https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip)?
 * Please compare the above IP address with the IP address you are seeing in the
   firewall tab.
 * If they match, what should be happening is that you should not be able to access
   your WordPress site.
 * Please note that the IP address listed under diagnostics within WordFence is 
   the server’s IP address. It is not your IP address.
