Front End blocking not working

Hi @richmandan,

When accessing the page from an IP based in blacklisted country the redirection does not get triggered.

This is because of your caching plugin. IPGB supports only a few caching plugin with specific configuration, i.e. PHP level redirection.

See FAQ and also “Living with caching plugin“.

Many thanks for your response. You are correct, this was an issue with caching.

I read your FAQ article but didn’t find it helpful in resolving this problem.

For the benefit of other users who may be reading this, this is how I solved the issue:

I use CloudFlare and WP-Rocket. Both have an option to remove caching from a specific URL.

As I only needed to redirect visitors from blacklisted countries from accessing my contact form, I simply removed the contact form URL from the cache. They are now being redirected correctly.

OK.

The following sample image shows that if someone accesses to “Sample Page” from outside JP, then he/she would be redirected to the “About” page.

I hope this may solve your issue.
