    I put this in wrong thread, so just copying

    Hi,

    the plugin is detecting wrong IP of our website and we still getting error Error: Your Google API Key is not valid for this request and permission is denied. Please check your Google API Key. (IP is different from ping result for example). We added restrictions for your detected IP and real IP and still errir.

    We reseted plugin on advanced tab too. What could be wrong? In google api – key is green and correctly restricted. I am lost. Thank you

    @jimako This response isn’t related to the original post.

    The IP that Google API is expecting will occasional differ from the one you’ve added to the IP Restrictions.

    If this is the case, please check the Retrieved Data section, look for the IP it is expecting and add this to your list of Restricted IPs.

    Once added, return to the plugin and go to Advanced | Clear Cache.

    Solution:

    Added both IPs in v6 format – in setting it was displayed in v4 format.

    Problem solved.

    Thank you so much for so great plugin.

    @jimako Thanks for reporting back.

    The IP used by Google is not always the same as the IP offered by the server. I will probably add both versions (IPv4 and IPv6) in the future to get around this issue.
