Hi, some IPs in blocked country are getting in,

Dear TJayYay,

Thank you for reporting your issue again.

You mean your issue seems to come up after upgrading WP 4.4? I think WP version is less relevant to this issue. But let me know your opinion about some sign or opportunity.

And also I’d like to know more details about your “Validation rule settings” on “Settings” tab. Could you kindly send me a screen dump on your settings tab to tokkonopapa at yahoo.com ?

Thanks.

Dear TJayYay and all,

I will summarize our discussion about this issue.
TJayYay found the following access in “Live Traffic” of Wordfence.

`Gelsenkirchen, Germany arrived from https://*****.com/ and visited https://*****.com/
12/18/2015 7:59:10 AM (7 hours 37 mins ago) IP: 80.134.***.*** [block] Hostname: *****.de
Browser: Chrome version 37.0 running on Linux
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) …`

This access was a kind of referer spam. Unfortunately, IGB currently does’t block this kind of access to the “public facing page” (e.g. “front end”), but blocks an access to the “back end”, because that’s the current concept of this plugin.

But I really appreciate what you raised in this issue, because I can know many site owners really want to block both “referer spams” and “malicious accesses”. So I should keep going to improve the functionalily of IGB for our ideal goal toward the futre.

Thank you!

Sorry, I thought I was making a new topic but got lost in my maze of windows.
