# IP Detection with Cloudflare’s new Automatic Platform Optimization

 * Cloudflare has a new feature for WordPress called Automatic Platform Optimization
   to improve speed, etc.
    [https://blog.cloudflare.com/automatic-platform-optimizations-starting-with-wordpress/](https://blog.cloudflare.com/automatic-platform-optimizations-starting-with-wordpress/)
 * Since enabling this feature, I notice that the all IPs detected by Wordfence 
   are the same from a Cloudflare server. I’ve verified that when I turn on Development
   Mode and bypass Cloudflare cache, Wordfence can detect IP correctly.
 * Are you experiencing the same? How can I have Wordfence detect IPs correctly 
   with APO enabled?
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@vuster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vuster/) and thanks for reaching
   out to us!
 * We contacted Cloudflare and they’re looking at fixing `CF-Connecting-IP`, since
   it isn’t showing the correct visitor IP.
 * We recommend turning off the new Cloudflare APO feature temporarily. You should
   be able to turn it on again after the issue is fixed, but we haven’t heard an
   estimate on when that will be yet.
 * I will update you when I get more information!
 * Thanks!

 * Looks like Cloudflare is hoping to have this resolved by Wednesday according 
   to their support forum.
 * Thanks for your patience and support!
