FAQ
-
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.
