 * Does Wordfence have IPv6 issues? I receive this when I navigate to the main options
   page of Wordfence:
 * > Wordfence can’t get the IP of clients and therefore can’t operate. We received
   > IP: xxxx:xxx:xxx:. X-Forwarded-For was: REMOTE_ADDR was: xxxx:xxx:xxx::42

 * Hi,
 * Wordfence does not support IPv6 right now which is what I think you’re using,
   although you haven’t posted the whole address the colons lead me to believe those
   are IPv6 addresses.

 * Mark.

 * Yes, I am using IPv6. I did not post the real address as my IPv6 addresses are
   static. 😉
 * Do you have any idea when IPv6 support will be there? Seems not to be the most
   emminent thing, but would be nice to have. IPv6 is getting more and more important.
