WordPress Jetpack locked my own IP out.

Hello fellas,

I barely post here but that's because I barely have any issues with the hosting service, even though it is free.

Just now, I tried to edit my website through wordpress (http://shifat.ca) and I was presented with with a message saying "Your IP (xxx.xx.xx.x) has been flagged for potential security violations. Find out more...". I got this when I tried to log into wp-admin. Now, this IP (xxx.xx.xx.x) is actually the IP for my home internet. It seems that one of the plugins I use 'Jetpack' has locked me out of my own website.

So I was wondering if anyone had encountered this issue before and/or if anyone knew how to fix the issue.

"I got locked out of my own website!!!!!" is something that sounds really silly.

Alright don't be alarmed. I've managed to fix it.

Went through cPanel and edited wp-config.php and added this line:
define('JETPACK_IP_ADDRESS_OK', 'X.X.X.X');

(replacing X.X.X.X with my own IP ofc.)

I've also removed the plugin temporarily. Probably will enable it again.
