 * Hello.
 * Because of the security we are limiting access to /wp-admin directory only to
   some IP’s.
 * But your great plugin is using /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and is blocked with this
   restriction.
 * Is there a way to use this plugin but without access to /wp-admin/*
 * Best regards. Pawel

 * Hi Pawel,
 * This was recently made possible, since the last update (to use the plugin on 
   front-end without admin-ajax.php). If it doesn’t work, please let us know. We’re
   happy to help you!

 * Unfortunately, the update did not help.
   The console continues to return the error

 * The previous answer was given too quickly and needs to be corrected. It is not
   possible to use the plugin without admin-ajax.php, because an Ajax request is
   fired after submitting a download form. This is done via admin-ajax.php.
 * Since many plugins use this file, it is good to think about whether it is useful
   to restrict it. [Here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restrict-access-to-wp-admin-2/)
   you can find more information about this topic.
 * Hope this helps!
 * Kind regards,
