# Plugin locking me out, CloudFlare

 * I recently installed Limit Login Attempts reloaded and was surprised to find 
   out I was getting almost 100 login attempts per day.
 * So, I blocked whole ranges of IPs to get the attacks down to a trickle.
 * Unfortunately, the plugin is now blocking me too. I need to manually disable 
   the plugin to login successfully and then re-enable it after I am logged in.
 * I have whitelisted my own IP but that doesn’t help. I have checked and the IP
   addresses coming in are not mine and my IP is not in any of the blocked ranges.
 * I see that others have had similar issues in the past. I am using Cloudflare 
   for DNS and CDN. That seems to have come up as relevant in other threads.
 * Is there something that I can do to resolve this? Or do I need to switch plugins?
 * Here is the information from the Debug Info:
 * HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR = IP0
    HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP = IP0 REMOTE_HOST = IP1 REMOTE_ADDR
   = IP1
 * Help is greatly appreciated.

 * I didn’t get any response on this one. Is this plugin not compatible with using
   Cloudflare for CDN?
