Caching & Wordfence

    Hello,

    Please note that there is an issue that when Dynamic Cache is enabled it does not comply to Wordfence country blocking rules. At best, it gives intermittent results (having blocked the country or not). Disabling the Dynamic Cache solves this but then there is no advantage of using the Dynamic Cache, which provides great speed improvements.

    Anything that can be done here so that it does not affect the Wordfence geo blocking rules/capabilities?

    Thanks.

    Dynamic page caching is form of full page caching. When the request comes the NGINX reverse proxy serves content right from it before hitting the web server and going through rules in .htaccess. If you want to have country speciffic rules they should be applied via ajax or similar method. That’s just how the system works. You can reach out to the WF team for more info whether they have other methods of blocking when the IP comes from a speciffic country.
