Till this week admin tools uses my IP4 adress, whicj I have put into the White-list. Butt since a couple of days, without changes from my side, it uses my IP6 address that changes almost every day. How can I fix that, because every time I'm not able to enter the back-end of my site because that address is not in the White list. I have to disable the main.php file and put that new address into the list. It happened this week already 4 times.
Hope you can help.

Hello,

I think your ISP started to use IP V6 for your account.
Since it seems it's very dynamic, this means that you can't use the IP whitelist feature. My suggestion is to protect your backend with a password, since it's a very effective protection.
