have a my site running now for a few years on its own dedicated ip and yesterday i got this message


Admin Tools detected security exceptions from 'private network' IP addresses. This usually means that there is a CDN......

I have cleared the logs there are no ip address being blocked my site in not on a proxy or CDN as i manage the sever my self and have another 20 joomla sites all running admin tools but on a different ip, and this is the only site to get this message all other joomla sites appear to be fine without ip workaround.

should i enable ip work around and why would this just start for no apparent reason?

Hello,

first of all, do you remember the IP address being blocked?

should i enable ip work around and why would this just start for no apparent reason?
Yes, you should do that.
Sometimes it happens because your provider adds a load balancer or some other kind of proxy in front of your site. Usually this is completely irrelevant for standard users, but that could affect the detection of visitors' IP.
