Plugin Enhancement for Independent Restrict Country/Continent Option

Hi Rick,

I hope this message finds you well. I have noticed that the plugin is effectively blocking both Proxy and VPN connections, demonstrating its robust performance.

Selecting ‘Enable Querying‘ on the Main tab under the current option effectively identifies Proxy IP addresses. And, there is an option labelled ‘Also Detect VPNs‘ under ‘Enable Querying.’ Activating this option enables the detection of VPNs in addition to proxies.

Additionally, for restricting access based on Country/Continent IP addresses, there is a dedicated tab named ‘Restrict Country/Continent.‘ It is important to note that, according to the current plugin configuration, the ‘Restrict Country/Continent’ feature does not operate independently. Instead, it works in conjunction with blocking Proxy IP addresses.

In scenarios where the objective is to exclusively utilize the ‘Restrict Country/Continent’ functionality without blocking Proxy IP addresses, there should be an option in the plugin to facilitate this. Such an option would be particularly useful when the aim is to disallow all visitor’s IP addresses from specific countries. And, the option can be inside the ‘Restrict Country/Continent’ tab as ‘Disable Proxy & VPN detection but restrict Country/Continent’.

I appreciate your attention to these enhancements. I believe implementing them will contribute significantly to a more flexible and user-friendly experience with the plugin regarding the Independent Restrict Country/Continent Option.

Thank you for your ongoing efforts in maintaining and improving the plugin.

Best Regards,
