# cannot login – Cloudflare?

 * Hello. When I try to log in, I get a message asking me to wait 15 hours. I’ve
   done some troubleshooting and can confirm the following:
 * – MY IP in the Loginizer Dashboard and on [whatismyipaddress.com](https://whatismyipaddress.com/)
   are different
   – I’m using Cloudflare
 * I’ve seen a couple forum posts where the developer asked about Cloudflare but
   that wasn’t the issue. I couldn’t find any documentation of what to do if using
   Cloudflare.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * Would you please try setting HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in the dashboard of the Loginizer
   Method field, which is just beside where your IP is shown.
 * See if that fixes the issue you are facing.

 * I’ve tried all the methods in the drop down and none of them change the IP.

 * Hello,
 * Would you please tell if you have tried `HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP` using the custom
   option?

 * That worked for making the IPs match!
 * I’ve re-enabled brute force protection. Previously, it took a while before it
   started locking me out again. So I’ll follow up in a few days when I try to log
   in again.
 * Thank You!
