Missing IP Blocks

  • Hi,

    I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and before the 5.x upgrade, it was working beautifully. However, since that upgrade people are still being able to get through.

    I’ve blocked every country except X country and I’m still getting people who are able to access the admin page to try to access the backend.

    I’ve taken the IP address shown in Wordfence and tried on each of the services and it shows up as a blocked country. Why is this?

    Thanks.

    Wordfence is not related to Admin Block Country, we do similar things, but we’re not the same thing. We don’t share code or anything.

    There hasn’t been a significant difference after 4.3. I think the reason your getting issues is because more IP addresses have been created and the services used within my plugin have not been updated. The plugin lets people in if it can’t work out your IP address.

    I think in the next version I’m going to have to add an option to say if “I don’t know what country your from, assume your a threat and block.” I think this is the next phase of the plugin.

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting back to me. I also realize that my country still shows up as an option to get blocked. I believe that is not supposed to happen.

    I like your plugin as it is simple and straightforward and really really really easy to select the countries that I want to be blocked or unblocked.

    I also think that is a great option to notify when they aren’t getting in. Maybe this is something that can be turned on or turned off

    Lastly, how often do the services get updated? Do you have a preference?

    Thanks.

    I’m not in control of any of the services. Everyone will have a difference service, depending on what country they are from. I choose geoplugin.net. I’m in Australia and it works well for me, but it doesn’t get all American and European addresses. So I guess you will have to experiment.

    Who.is does not work well at all.. I’m in the US geoplugin works well for me.
