Hi @uvhost, thanks for reaching out to us.
It sounds like your IPs might not be detecting properly as there’s a separate configuration option for Cloudflare. Take note of your IP – (note that this detection can sometimes not be 100% accurate on cellular phone network connections): https://www.whatsmyip.org
Head over to Wordfence > All Options > General Wordfence Options > How does Wordfence get IPs and reference the area under that section that says Detected IPs and Your IP with this setting. Start from the top and check to see if any of the settings show that both of those show the same IP as the site above does.
If you’re using Cloudflare, you will most likely need to select “Use the Cloudflare “CF-Connecting-IP” HTTP header to get a visitor IP. Only use if you’re using Cloudflare.”
If you block yourself during testing, make sure you have a low block time set, or a plan to unblock it using another IP.
Thanks,
Peter.

Hi @wfpeter, thank you for replying.
If I select
Let Wordfence use the most secure method to get visitor IP addresses. Prevents spoofing and works with most sites. (Recommended)
It works, but when I select
Use the Cloudflare "CF-Connecting-IP" HTTP header to get a visitor IP. Only use if you're using Cloudflare.
The ban does not work.
Selecting the first one messes with connectivity option in wordfence with my server.
Please advise.
