 * Hi,
 * I coulndt reach my site anymore. I called my hosting provider, and they said 
   that they blocked the Ip because wordfence overloading the host server with post
   requests. Im a novice in WordPress or in wordfence, so i cant figure this out.
   I wanted to buy the paid version, but now iam waiting due to this problem. The
   server constantly says:
 * 95.97.xxx.xxx – – [03/Apr/2015:14:49:02 +0200] “POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
   HTTP/1.1” 200 583 “[http://www.*****/wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceActivity&#8221](http://www.*****/wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceActivity&#8221);“
   Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/
   36.0”
 * And that a lot…
 * Whats the problem and how can i fex this> I want to use wordfence, but i dont
   wnna be blocked by my hosting provider by spamming 🙂

 * We’d need to see what options are checked. One thing you might do is disable 
   live traffic as soon as you activate it. That should help immediately.

 * Turn off High sensitivity and uncheck images if exe. Check disable code execution
   in the uploads folder instead.
