]]>I use a Zapier Plugin for Gravity Forms to send all forms to SignNow for PDF creation and routing for signature. Recently, the VPN Blocker is blocking the webhooks from Zapier’s systems which I believe are in AWS. Is there any way to whitelist these when I don’t know all the IP’s Zapier uses?
]]>Hello, first, thanks for the great plugin, it saved my site.
I have some customers that have their “iCloud Private Relay” enabled, how do I go about Whitelisting this relay?
If I need a list of IPs that Apple uses for this service, how can I add them in bulk? I found a file that contains thousands of IP Ranges their service uses.
I’d appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

Hello
We do not have issue with the plugin Proxy & VPN Blocker itself, but every time we got a message error on our login page (also for the customer) :
Warning: Undefined array key “R” in /home/xb796285/example.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/proxy-vpn-blocker/proxy-vpn-blocker-function.php on line 62.
Do you know what we should do to fix that? Or if there any CSS code so we can hide this message error.
Thanks
Having this plugin installed has stopped Wp cron for some reason.
]]>Hello, I have been working with settings to help protect a Peepso social network site. I have successfully restricted the registration page which has already solved many problems. However, after someone successfully completes registration and wishes to be able to login using their VPN after that, how can I allow this? The peepso login function is part of the core and does not sit on it’s own specific page. I have attempted to use the Unrestricted function on the page login resides and it does not work. How can I do this? Thanks
]]>I set up the plugin, went through the proxycheck paid option, put in my API, enabled querying and it’s working in the sense that, when I turn on a VPN, this shows up in the debugging area:
“proxy”: “yes”, “type”: “VPN”
It is detecting my IP correctly. (ie, header settings are correct)
But when I try to access my site in an incognito window or in another browser, the site still works even though I turned on my VPN.
I have “Also Detect VPN” set to on. So the question is why is my site not blocking VPN/proxy access? I do have a page cache on some pages but I tried adding things to my cart, going to the checkout page, etc — these pages are not cached and should have been blocked.
What’s the next step to figure this out?
]]>Plugin was working perfectly, but after update, country block/restriction is not working anymore. Kindly let us know. How do we configure this on procheck.io . Thank you in advance.

Hello Rickstermuk ??
What about user using classic-editor
?? Cannot found the option to use in page
Hi Rick,
I hope this message finds you well. I have noticed that the plugin is effectively blocking both Proxy and VPN connections, demonstrating its robust performance.
Selecting ‘Enable Querying‘ on the Main tab under the current option effectively identifies Proxy IP addresses. And, there is an option labelled ‘Also Detect VPNs‘ under ‘Enable Querying.’ Activating this option enables the detection of VPNs in addition to proxies.
Additionally, for restricting access based on Country/Continent IP addresses, there is a dedicated tab named ‘Restrict Country/Continent.‘ It is important to note that, according to the current plugin configuration, the ‘Restrict Country/Continent’ feature does not operate independently. Instead, it works in conjunction with blocking Proxy IP addresses.
In scenarios where the objective is to exclusively utilize the ‘Restrict Country/Continent’ functionality without blocking Proxy IP addresses, there should be an option in the plugin to facilitate this. Such an option would be particularly useful when the aim is to disallow all visitor’s IP addresses from specific countries. And, the option can be inside the ‘Restrict Country/Continent’ tab as ‘Disable Proxy & VPN detection but restrict Country/Continent’.
I appreciate your attention to these enhancements. I believe implementing them will contribute significantly to a more flexible and user-friendly experience with the plugin regarding the Independent Restrict Country/Continent Option.
Thank you for your ongoing efforts in maintaining and improving the plugin.
Best Regards,
]]>Hello, I am a regular user of your Proxy & VPN Blocker plugin, which I find very useful for blocking Proxy & VPN visitors from accessing my websites. However, I have a suggestion for a feature that I think would make your plugin even better and more beneficial for your users.
The feature is to prevent visitors from Proxy or VPN from copying any content from the web page. This would protect the website’s content from plagiarising or being used maliciously. It would also prevent the website from losing traffic and advertisement revenue, which is important.
Currently, your plugin has two options for the block action: Access Denied Message or Custom Blocked Page. However, there should be additional options to prevent Proxy/VPN visitors from copying the content of the page. And, not be able to use the mouse right-click or keyboard shortcuts to select, copy, cut, and paste. Some users want that instead of redirecting Proxy/VPN visitors to the Custom Block Page or showing them access denied message.
I suggest that you add a third option for the block action: Disable Content Copying. This option would disable the right-click menu and the keyboard shortcuts for the visitor from Proxy or VPN. It would also disable the text selection and drag-and-drop functions on the web page. This way, the visitor would not be able to copy any content from the web page.
I have found a good reference for how to disable text selection, copy, cut, paste, and right-click on a web page using JavaScript, CSS or other methods. https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/javascript/how-to-disable-text-selection-copy-cut-paste-and-right-click-on-a-web-page.html
I think you can use this code or a similar one to implement the feature I am requesting. I also know that in the case of your plugin, if any Proxy/VPN visitor disables JavaScript, they are not able to bypass the Block Action.
I hope you will consider my feature request and add it to your plugin. It would be a great improvement for your plugin and a valuable service for your users. Thank you for your time and attention.

The data shown under ‘API Key Statistics’ is several hours behind compared to my actual/local timezone. Please let me know how I can view this data in my local timezone.
]]>Hi,
The following IP address is classed as a proxy and a high-risk malicious IP by IPQualityScore.com:
https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test/lookup/86.106.2.130
However, the test on proxycheck.io does not detect this as a proxy at all and gives it a 0% Risk Score.
Please let me know if this can be fixed and if the accuracy of proxycheck.io can be matched to that of IPQualityScore.com.

Hi,
I am testing your plugin.
Its so good so far but, only Republic of Korea dont’ work as whitelist.
https://gyazo.com/cf1bcb2ab517f143873d830eb4de3d59
I can connect using JAPAN IP but can’t connect using Korean IP.
I disabled all rule and VPN off.
https://gyazo.com/53503129609b95db1f6a564ebb7df3cf
Still can’t connect my site using korean IP.
If I whitelist “Asia”, I can connect using korean IP though.
Could you change name from Republic of Korea to South Korea?
This will fix the problem maybe.
]]>It would probably make sense to add a known bad IP cache as well, otherwise, someone can easily use up all your queries by just continually hitting the page.
]]>My site is set up so when someone registers they are sent a registration email that then takes them to a url to set their password.
Unfortunately, from 10,885 emails over 312days there have been around 56 complaints, which is enough for Amazon SES to put the account under review and if the situation isn’t resolved they will stop all email being sent.
I added this plugin in the hope that the majority of the people signing up with either other people email addresses or their own email addresses but then marking it as spam are using Proxies or VPN to do it, but I only really want the blocking on the registration page. Once people have verified their email I don’t mind them using proxies/vpn to login and access the backend, but I can’t see an option that restricts the blocking to registration only. Is there any way to do this?
]]>Plugin works great for months, then will suddenly stop working (no longer blocks proxies/VPNs and stops counting queries). Currently hasn’t worked for the last few days. I have a paid subscription with proxycheck.io and the debug option shows everything is working ok..
Any help with troubleshooting would be appreciated.
]]>Hello, I need help please!
From time to time the plugin stop working, I don’t know the exact reason. Knowing that I have cloudflare active.
Also, please I want to know what is the PHP version for the plugin?
]]>Hi RickstermUK,
Thank you for developing this wonderful Plugin.
I am using the Restricted Country/Continent Option. It is working perfectly and restricting the visitor from the blacklisted countries.
But I have a few teammates who log in to my website from those blacklisted countries. On turning Off option i.e. Protect Login authentication (Advanced tab). The country block is supposed not to block access to the wp-admin or wp-login.php Page. So that teammates can log in to the website. But it is not. It is blocking access to Login authentication page also.
Kindly look into the same. And, provide a solution for the same ASAP.
