Description of my issue:
Hello, I've recently installed Admin Tools and it continues to block whatever IP i'm working at. To work I have to keep my database open and constantly delete my IP from the _ipautoban . I have a hidden login setup, and if I sign in it blocks my IP. I go delete my IP from the database and go back and I'm signed in. Then if I go to Admin Professional and sign in that section, it will sign me in but then block my IP. I delete my IP and go back and I'm in. I'm sure I have a setting wrong, but I've gone through and can't see why it's marking me as a threat by signing in. I have a hidden login, so I do have treat failed logins as security excepts set to NO. I also have Admin IPs only in Whitelist NO.
I'm getting hit constantly from someone Scranton, PA so I'm hesitant to take down the Admin Tools. Any suggestions? thanks for your help.
