Blocked countries still get through
Blocked countries still reach the site, and some reviewers found the block did nothing, so they stopped using the plugin.

What's going wrong
Many owners say the plugin did not stop traffic from countries they had blocked. Reports include visits from several blocked countries still reaching the front end or admin login after settings were confirmed. Some say the block worked only partly, or only when they tested with a VPN, while others say it added page load time without stopping bot traffic that still loaded their server. Owners who rely on it for spam and brute-force protection are the most frustrated. They want a reliable way to confirm blocks are enforced, with evidence they can check.
