    Hi, I am using your plugin for my site to block login from Hong Kong because WordFence alerts me that there is an increased of attacks from this country.

    However, after I blocked Hong Kong, I still keep receiving the following email alert from WordFence:

    Below is a sample of these recent attacks: July 6, 2023 10:24pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:24pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:24pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:24pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:24pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:24pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:24pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:24pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:23pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents July 6, 2023 10:23pm 43.251.16.209 (Hong Kong) Blocked for Known malicious User-Agents

    Does the above means the plugin is blocking the traffic or not?

    Looking forward to your help on this, thank you!

    P.S. This is my plugin setting – https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/41313650?key=662f4fca43c790edca58e3bbe8c5acea

    Hi,

    Selecting the allowed and blocked countries is one step. That needs to be combined with a rule. Check the settings first tab, and test with maybe 5 or 6 and see if the alert number decreases.

    My plugin is blocking access to login, and Wordfence is using some other rules. It’s good to combine both to increase security.

    Regards,
    Iulia
