Possible issue?

Hi Jeff

I use the website projecthoneypot and your wordpress plug-in but after installing it, the offense level for every user appears to be 11 and that seems enough of a score to cause a block a user, despite what is selected in the threat score (ended up selecting the max 255) . I've been blocked by my own site and double checked with PHP that my IP was clean.

I know wordpress has recently had an update so maybe it has something to do with that.

I'm not sure if you know about the issue, if you do then sorry for another message clogging up your inbox

Thanks

Mark

Hi again Jeff

I was writing a little PHP to help look into the above issue, only to discover the resulting IP address, didn't start with 127 and only then did I realise I recogised the number - the resulting IP address is of the server.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this problem - but is there a possibility of a patch and to make sure the first octet is 127 ?

Thanks

Mark
