 * Hi All, I recently had an issue with this plugin because my IP was used as a 
   proxy. During that time I tested the plugin with my VPN on and was able to access
   it. I thought this was related to my original IP being used as Proxy.
   Now that
   my IP is “clean” (I had a complete clean-up and was able to locate the app that
   was causing it) as I requested a new IP from my IPS.Now the plugin still does
   not block VPNs.I copied my site to a staging enviroment on the same server and
   was able to replicate the issue.My troubleshooting included the following:1. 
   deactivated all plugins except the vpn blocker – it still gives me access to 
   that specific page2. checked the setting of that said page – still has “block
   VPN”3. I checked the VPN Blocker settings – VPN and Proxy Block is activated –
   Setting to redirect to URL is active – Link to Page URL is there – The page it
   should redirect to is available and published4. I tried different countries and
   none of them are blocked (Austria, Germany, China, US)The current version I am
   using is 3.5.7The action log says that the last IP was blocked just day ago (
   I started updating my site yesterday around 12 hours ago) but I can’t say if 
   its a proxy that was blocked or an IP used by VPN.Here is a screenshot from the
   action log (just shot the ones 1 day ago)[https://ibb.co/yn2WGcQf](https://ibb.co/yn2WGcQf)
   And here is also the Debugpage[https://ibb.co/rRd4C7gQ](https://ibb.co/rRd4C7gQ)
   I can’t find an actual debug log. if there is one, please let me know where.Please
   let me know if you need anything else.
