Hi,
I want to make sure Wordfence is writing to the database. Are you able to see live traffic?
Please check your mysql tables for table corruption. Ask your hosting provider to help you with this if you don’t know how to do it.

Mark.
It’s tough for me to correlate your weblogs with what you should be seeing in Wordfence. If you have lockout set to say 3 attempts, and you see 3 attempts from an IP and then immediatelly check locked out IP’s you should see the currently locked out IP listed there.
Under the “logins and logouts” tab in live traffic you should see the attempts listed there. If not, then let me know.

Mark.
Yes I think it’ll probably fix it. I’d love to know what the issue is with the host, so let me know if you have an update.

I’d like to investigate this more. Can you send the URL of your website to genbiz@wordfence.com and include a link to this forum posting? Make the subject ‘blocked by Russia’.
Thanks.
Hi,
Please log a support ticket at http://support.wordfence.com because you get priority support as a paid customer.
Can you use the free version of Wordfence on your development site and the paid key on your live site?

Is it possible that they’re only locked out for a short time?
What is this set to:
Amount of time a user is locked outon our Wordfence options page?

Thanks Mary, I’ve filed a bug against this and we’ll run some tests on this end to see if there’s a problem and I’ll try to update this post.

We use the HTTP_HOST variable in .htaccess:
RewriteCond “%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}{$pathPrefix}/wp-content/wfcache/%{HTTP_HOST}_%1/%2~%3~%4~%5~%6_wfcache%{ENV:WRDFNC_HTTPS}.html%{ENV:WRDFNC_ENC}” -f
So the file we cache is stored in a path that is made up of the site hostname. As long as your rewrite rules appear before ours and the HTTP_HOST is set correctly, it should work.
If the path is not stored correctly, then your site won’t crash. Wordfence simply won’t serve up the cached file.
So you might try this. Then go to the /wp-content/wfcache directory and see which hostnames are being used to store cached files.
Also enable the option on the Performance Setup page to add an HTML comment to all cached pages. Then hit your site with a new incognito window in your browser and check the footer of the HTML source to see if the page was served from the cache.

Thanks, we’ll read the documentation you linked to and see if there’s a way we can improve deliverability from Wordfence.

No definitely not. We take great care to not block Google’s crawlers.

So you’re saying that Falcon is clearing the cache too often, is that correct?
Regards,
Mark.
Also post an update please – I’d like to confirm this was the cause.

Hi,
You have run out of disk space on your server. Contact your hosting provider immediately to get them to help you fix this.

Mark.
No I don’t think your link structure is causing this.
You have this line in the source of your 404:
<ADDRESS><a href="http://www.servage.net/">Servage.net</a> Clustered Webhosting running enhanced Apache Webserver</ADDRESS>I think your host is running a custom apache build. Please ask them why this is happening. Falcon stores files on disk and uses mod_rewrite to serve up those cached files. I think something about your web host is causing mod_rewrite to try and serve cached files but then it can’t find them on disk. Ask your hosting provider why this is happening.

Just in case anyone else arrives here, this may help. As @mgmirkin said, the email referred to belongs to our security email list, not the Wordfence plugin.
If you are receiving emails from Wordfence, you control those and you can sign into your WordPress installation and disable any alerts you don’t want on the Wordfence options page.
If you have received an email from our security email list which you subscribed to, you’ll notice that every email has the following header:
