    Hi nmasters,

    Unfortunately, this plugin doesn’t block anyone who visit the public facing pages but blocks only someone who attempts to hack the backend such as admin area.

    In other words, this doesn’t restrict the contents by contry. If you want to do so, I recommend to use iQ Block Country.

    Thanks.

    and just to be clear what are the roles for the “attempts to hack” is is blocking all access to admin / login or if tried login more then one time etc. ?

    thanks

    Hi jacob,

    The basic concept of this plugin is that “while anybody can recieve the services on the public facing pages, any malicious requests to the backend should be blocked”.

    In order to achieve this, 2 strategies are adopted.
    One is “Block by country” which will reduce the risk of infection. In this case, a malicious login attempt will be blocked immidiately.
    And another is “Zero-day Exploit Prevention” which blocks any malicios access to the backend immidiately even posted from the permitted countries. But in this case, login attempts will be permitted several times.

    If you have any more interests, please do not hasitate to ask them!
