 * Every other week PS is banning my home IP or the live server IP. How to put both
   IP’s in an allowed list, so they don’t get blocked again? Thanks.

 * Firstly, the quick fix:
    – Enable Advanced Mode, and a Domain Name Safe List 
   will be enabled – In the Domain Name Safe list, add the IP addresses you want
   to protect, one line per IP address, also including the domain names and subdomain
   names of the website, one line per domain name.
 * Secondly, if you have time I would like to try and determine what it is about
   your situation that is causing this. Pareto Security should not ban any logged
   in administrators and editors IP address, nor should it ban the server IP address.
 * So when you get a chance, can you please tell me some more about your specific
   server set up:
    – Are you using Cloudflare or some other CDN service? – Are you
   using Multisite, or some other method of admininistration across several sites?–
   When your home IP has been banned, were you logged in at the time, and if so 
   what level of authentication (i.e admin, editor, author etc) – Lastly can you
   paste in one of the lines from the logfile that shows the entry that banned the
   IP address

 * Thanks for your answer.
 * >  – Are you using Cloudflare or some other CDN service?
 * Yes, I’m using Cloudflare. Also might be related, but have a CF firewall rule
   to protect wp-admin:
    `(http.request.uri.path contains "/wp-admin/" and not http.
   request.uri.path contains "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" and not http.request.uri.
   path contains "/wp-admin/theme-editor.php")`
 * > – Are you using Multisite, or some other method of admininistration across

 * No, single-site only.

 * Yes, was logged as an admin and clicking around.

 * I have just posted an update which will hopefully address those issues. Unfortunately
   I do not have a site using the Cloudflare CDN so cannot test this in the wild.
   However check out version 2.8.7 and let me know how this goes, this update at
   least better prevents admins from being banned.
 * I will keep this support request open for now.
