    I’m testing this plugin to block all countries accept mine (Netherlands) from backend access.

    I’m running the latest version of the plugin on my WP website (v6.4.1) and PHP 8.1.

    On the backend tab is see: Your IP address is <my ip address>. The country that is listed for this IP address is Unknown.

    When under tools i check an ip address of a brute force attacker i see: No country for 103.83.81.221 could be found. Or 103.83.81.221 is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 IP address.

    The actual Maxmind country database has been uploaded to the wp-content/uploads directory. When i check my ip address and also the ip addresses of brute force attackers on the website of maxmind these addresses are found.

    I’ve disabled the caching plugin and the security plugin on my website to no avail. Any idea what i am missing here.

    I found the issue. The copy script to upload the maxmind database did corrupt the database ??
