 * Many times i receive a warming, about somebody opening my site fro some region
   or city far away from mine. I know geolocalization do not work 100% fine . But
   if my IP is my Ip, is not possible to avoid such wrong warmings by writing somewhere
   the administrators IP?
 * regards

 * Some times, I receive a message if the administrator open the site: [Wordfence
   Alert] example.com Admin Login.
 * That is because the configuration of Alert configurations: Alert me when someone
   with administrator access signs in
 * I use to be scare the most of the times and I do review the message, just in 
   case. Always is me or my people. Nice. But the warming say a localization that
   is not my house. That scary me.
 * As the localization use to be wrong, is not possible to write something like:
   IP correct? if the IP is the same as always or a defined administatotr IP.
 * That would decrease my anxiety as I never remember my IP.
