  I’m trying to work on a WordPress site created by someone else. But after two minutes of being logged in as an administrator, I’m blocked by the firewall. Like the website won’t load at all and I can’t do anything. I’ve used a VPN to change my IP, which works initially, but then I get disconnected by the firewall. I’ve made a separate user account for the site, and I still get signed out after a short period of time.

  What can I do to stop it from doing this, so I can stay logged in to the site?
