 * Hi [@yuyu009](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yuyu009/)!
 * Very glad you reached out! What you are seeing is a result of some changes made
   in the latest version that’s ultimately a security feature. I’m happy to explain(
   it’s a bit of a long story…).
 * WordPress requires that plugins hosted on their servers (including Solid Security
   Basic) not “phone home” or send requests back to our servers without explicitly
   asking for permission and having users like you opt in. We are very careful to
   follow those rules, which are put in place for your protection.
 * A feature of Solid Security (and iThemes Security before it) is IP detection,
   for the purposes of locking out bad actors by IP address.
 * The best way to handle detecting of IP addresses is by handling IP detection 
   on our servers. But since we can’t do that without your permission, for years
   we’ve had a fallback method of using IP detection on the server where your site
   is hosted.
 * Recently it was determined that this method (IP detection on your servers) is
   not secure, and can be used in malicious ways. So we removed it.
 * That means that in order to do IP detection at all, you’ll need to opt in, which
   is possible in the settings at Security > Settings > Global Settings > IP Detection.
   Select “Security Check Scan” and save the settings, and you’ll be all set.
 * Finally, just a heads up that a better place to get support is the support forums,
   not the reviews!
 * I’d love to earn back the missing stars in your review here. How can we do that?

 * At the least the link in the notification could explain the steps and take to
   to the correct page.

 * There is no option to select “security scan (recommended)”. Only appear “Manual”&“
   Inactive”. This is the issue.
   Previous version there was 3 options:– security
   scan (recommended)– Manual – InactiveAfter upgrade to last versiones “Security
   Scan (recommended)” doesn’t appear.

 * Hey [@equanimityes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/equanimityes/) apologies
   for my lack of clarity! I see that you’re right. In order for the additional 
   option to display, you have to first opt into “Security Check Pro” in the settings
   at Security > Settings > Features, and then navigate to the IP detection settings
   where you will see the additional option. Here’s a short screencast showing that:

 * Hi Ben,
 * When I try to select “Security Check Pro” options, Enforce SSL option is off 
   automatically and the “Secutiy Check Pro” is off again (automatically). I can
   not activate the option “Secutiy Check Pro”, never is activated

 * I got no option “security check pro”.
 * On features -> utilities i got only “geolocation”.
 * Changing ip detection is not saving 🙁
