    Hi,

    This plugin has worked perfectly for a long time but yesterday I suddenly got reports that logging in to our website was blocked (shows “Proxy or VPN detected – Please disable to access this website!”).
    Nothing was changed the last 2-3 days and as I stay logged in I had not noticed.
    A quick check via my tablet confirmed the issue.
    I suspected a conflict with another plugin but didn’t feel like digging deeper late evening.
    Today I backed up the site, updated 3 other plugins, activated Proxy & VPN blocker and started testing, it all worked as expected (Android + FF and Chrome are OK, TOR is blocked).
    2 other users have now tested and all seems OK

    One of the updated plugins was Stop Spammers. Could that be the culprit?
    Are there other known plugin conflicts?

    In any case, it seems we’re back to normal but it would be nice to know what happened.

    thanks, enjoy the holidays.

    I just updated to the new version and have set the option to send an email when queries are denied. Murphy’s law will probably kick in and I won’t hit the limit anymore ??
    We’re at 9.7% now (3 hours 15 minutes after reset) so still OK for now.

    Hi Rick,

    Happy NY, make it a better one than 2020 ??

    So far there were no more issues. I did get an email about getting to 90% of the 1000 queries but it was send close to reset time.
    All other days we were well below our allowed usage.

    In short: all is well ??
    Thanks for all your work on this great plugin.
