Title: Blocking countries not 100% working & firewall test failed Last modified: January 7, 2026 --- # Blocking countries not 100% working & firewall test failed * Resolved [sabineboogaard1985](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sabineboogaard1985/) * (@sabineboogaard1985) * [3 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-countries-not-100-working-firewall-test-failed/) * Hi! * On both websites mentioned, the firewall isn’t working completely. When I do a test it just shows the normal page. Also: I blocked several countries, like China and India, but I still see traffic from those countries. Not only in Google Analytics, but also in the Cleantalk log. * How to solve this? * Thank you for your help. * Kind regards, Sabine * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblocking-countries-not-100-working-firewall-test-failed%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [vadimcleantalk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/usr1/) * (@usr1) * [3 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-countries-not-100-working-firewall-test-failed/#post-18777655) * Hello [@sabineboogaard1985](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sabineboogaard1985/) * Thank you for your request!

Thank you so much, the test pages now work. However, I still see traffic from China on both of my websites. I waited the whole day to see if it’s working, but after hours China is still coming through. * Any solution for that? * Kind regards, Sabine * Plugin Support [eugenecleantalk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenecleantalk/) * (@eugenecleantalk) * [3 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-countries-not-100-working-firewall-test-failed/#post-18787844) * Thank you, Sabine. * Please click the “Synchronize with Cloud” button in the plugin settings, wait until the rotating icon disappears and refresh the page.
