 * Hi,
 * I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and before the 5.x upgrade, it was
   working beautifully. However, since that upgrade people are still being able 
   to get through.
 * I’ve blocked every country except X country and I’m still getting people who 
   are able to access the admin page to try to access the backend.
 * I’ve taken the IP address shown in Wordfence and tried on each of the services
   and it shows up as a blocked country. Why is this?
 * Thanks.

 * Wordfence is not related to Admin Block Country, we do similar things, but we’re
   not the same thing. We don’t share code or anything.
 * There hasn’t been a significant difference after 4.3. I think the reason your
   getting issues is because more IP addresses have been created and the services
   used within my plugin have not been updated. The plugin lets people in if it 
   can’t work out your IP address.
 * I think in the next version I’m going to have to add an option to say if “I don’t
   know what country your from, assume your a threat and block.” I think this is
   the next phase of the plugin.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for getting back to me. I also realize that my country still shows up 
   as an option to get blocked. I believe that is not supposed to happen.
 * I like your plugin as it is simple and straightforward and really really really
   easy to select the countries that I want to be blocked or unblocked.
 * I also think that is a great option to notify when they aren’t getting in. Maybe
   this is something that can be turned on or turned off
 * Lastly, how often do the services get updated? Do you have a preference?
 * Thanks.

 * I’m not in control of any of the services. Everyone will have a difference service,
   depending on what country they are from. I choose geoplugin.net. I’m in Australia
   and it works well for me, but it doesn’t get all American and European addresses.
   So I guess you will have to experiment.
