Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin work without enabling IP-based blocking?

No. The plugin requires the IP check to be enabled to function. You must enable IP-based country blocking to use the plugin’s blocking features.

Which geolocation service does this plugin use?

It uses the free ip-api.com API to determine visitor countries based on their IP addresses.

Is the plugin GDPR compliant?

The plugin does not store or transmit any personal data other than the visitor IP for the purpose of country detection. The country list is clean and minimal.

Can I whitelist countries instead of blocking?

Currently, the plugin works by selecting countries to block. Whitelisting is not supported in this version.
