Rules not working

    I enabled the plugin on my new site, but it’s not working. I’ve set up a whitelist for the Russian Federation, yet I can still access the site using a VPN located in Germany or other countries.

    Blocking is enabled for logged-in users, and I tested access while logged out.

    I’m using the latest local IP database.

    There’s no additional code in the .htaccess file.

    The plugin worked perfectly on my other sites last year, but now it doesn’t seem to work anywhere.

    I also tested it on another site with Wordfence — still not working. Could there be a conflict with Wordfence? (Though I didn’t notice any obvious conflicts.)

    Are you enabling any kind of cache plugin?

    No cache plugins. I disabled all plugins exept IP2Location.

    You can check https://darkwizard.ru/site/ is still available everywhere…

    P.S. tested with Twenty Twenty-Five theme also.

    Can you enable the debugging log at the settings page, then check the log file for the action taken?

    I did some more tests and found that my VPN works strangely. My site always detects my real IP from Russia, so I always see the site. I tested it through online anonymizers – and there is no access to the site. So the problem is not in the plugin, thank you! It is strange that VPN in TUN mode does not hide my IP, even if I directly tell it to proxy a specific URL.
