Hi,
Thank you for the report. I cannot reproduce this on either PHP 8.2 or PHP 8.4 myself either by checking myself or with the Sucuri tool. In all cases I properly get a 403 HTTP error.
Either way checking if it’s set is never a bad thing so I’ll include it in the next update.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [iQ Block Country] What is the bandwidth cost for blocking a pageThat really depends. If you redirect the blocked users to a page with a lot of images and stuff it will be exactly the payload of that page. If you just have them shown a short message the payload is just a few bytes + the necessary headers.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] It doesn’t workIt does not force you to buy data from us. You’re free to use the MaxMind database and download it yourself. If you do not want to do this we offer the ability to use our API.
The plugin is free to use and has no premium features at all

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] PHP Deprecated V1.2.26Hi,
I’ve been unable to reproduce this so far. If you use the free MaxMind GeoIP Lite database you could try upgrading it.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] PHP Deprecated V1.2.26Do you happen to know which IP address is accessing your website at the time of the error?

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] PHP Fatal error after update.Alrighty then, my bad for using a function that is only available in PHP 8.x
Although anyone still running stuff on PHP 7 (or prior) should really look into this as any version of PHP below 8.1 isn’t getting security updates anymore. For instance in the case of PHP 7.4 it hasn’t been supported anymore on security fixes since 2023 (so over 2.5 years now).

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] what exactly does “satellite provider” blockHi,
That’s really a question for MaxMind who’s free database you use. Satellite providers should be any satellite provider that doesn’t provide localization. As far as I am aware fi the ip addresses that Starlink hands out can be recognized towards a country.
In general this should be categories that cannot be linked to a specific country.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] Caching Message won’t stay hiddenIf you have this message you’re using an incompatible caching solution. So everything may look fine, they really aren’t fine.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] How do I allow starlink to access adminHi,
I am not familiar with the Starlink specifics. I’d reckon MaxMind doesn’t allocate countries to Starlink IP addresses. You could add a range to the allow list.
Like for instance if your customer is always in the same range of a.b.c.X where only the X varies you could add a.b.c.0/24I don’t know how accurate this list is but I found this:

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] is blocking robots.txtBut for those plugins it’s relevant to update the robots.txt file. So you make your settings at that plugin and the plugin saves the relevant changes to that text file.
The text file however remains a text file where WordPress it not “started” when a search engine accesses that file. And if WordPress is not started iQ Block Country is not started either.
So yes, other plugins may save/read the robots.txt file but only when WordPress is accessed. If that specific file is served by your webserver in general PHP and thus WordPress won’t be started.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [iQ Block Country] Fresh Forms Plugin Excludes Caching from Form PagesHi,
If you exclude anything from caching it could work. The problem is that caching & Geo Blocking do not work well together unless you do the Geo Blocking at the cache level.In the best case scenario countries or IP’s you want to block get served a page from cache and when visiting non cached pages they get blocked. This is due to the fact when pages are served from cache the iQ Block Country plugin does not get started and can’t do it’s job.
If the caching plugin however ignores the caching headers you risk the chance that the block message gets cached and everyone gets to see they are blocked even the countries that you did not block.
If you’re fine with blocked countries getting served the page from cache then you’re fine using the iQ Block Country plugin.
If you’re not you should disable either the cache or the Geo Blocking. Or search for another solution outside WordPress (for instance by using the Varnish software) where you can GeoBlock at a caching level.
