I suspect your bin database happen to be corrupted. Please try downloading the latest LITE BIN database file at https://lite.ip2location.com (if you are using the LITE version), unzip and copy the file into plugins/ip2location-country-blocker. Then, rename the file to database.bin and try it again.

Please take note to download the BIN file, not the CSV format. It’s different.

Correct, the login credentials apparently retrieved the demo. Now i have the correct database, its returning the United States. Thanks for the excellent follow up and the new message indicating an outdated database.
