 * the “IP Geo Block” plugin is very nice.
 * I’m testing on some sites where there is also another security plugin: “Wordfence”.
   Can I uninstall “Wordfence” and use only “IP Geo Block”?
 * Do you have any general advice on security plugin, to combine with IPG?

 * Hello robertomoretto,
    Thank you for asking.
 * I usually compare the “security” to “health management of human”.
 * For example,
    - Set the right permission
    - Strengthen the password
 *  - Use 2 factors authentication
 *  - Backup your files
    - Update to the latest version
 * are something like “Building physical fitness”. I had done former 2 things without
   plugins.
 * And
    - Protect your site againts the attack vectors
 *  - Set up a firewall
    - Block malicious access
 * are something like “Disease prevention”. IP Geo Block is specialized for this
   category.
    - Watch access logs on your server
    - Check vulnerable versions of plugin and theme
    - Inspect and remove the contaminated files
    - Restore files from a backup
 * are “Disease diagnosis and treatment”.
 * For us human, everything is needed.
 * Of course, my ideal concept for this plugin is building a “Cleanroom”. So if 
   IGB has perfect protection ability, I say “Yes”.
 * But unfortunately, [it doesn’t](http://www.ipgeoblock.com/codex/analysis-of-attack-vectors.html).
   So in addition to this plugin, you can feel more relieved if you have a plugin
   which has the ability of “Disease diagnosis and treatment”. I think Wordfence
   is one of the best security plugin to fit the above requirement.
 * As for me, I use only this plugin for the security purpose becase…
 * 1. Almost all malicious accesses come not from my country but overseas server.
   
   2. I don’t use plugins which provide services on the public facing pages. It 
   means that I can focus to take prompt measures on admin, plugins and themes area.
   3. I emphasize the site speed.
 * I hope this helps you.
