Never endiing Checking security of your connection message

[michaela2]

When I try to login to my wordpress dashboard *****/wp-login.php I get a never-ending error page saying:

“Checking if the site connection is secure” “the domain I own and manage” needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding."

I am stuck.

Can you please advise what I can do to fix this?

Thank you, Michael

Hi there,

Have you turned on “I Am Under Attack Mode” or perhaps set your Firewall/Security settings too high?

Do you have Javascript enabled on your web browser?
Can you try a few different web browsers as well?

Thank you.

Hi @michaela2,

I am glad that resolved the issue.
But that essentially means that there is no WAF protection for that specific IP address.

Please do keep that information in mind if your IP ever changes.

Thank you.
