Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Country Block – Ultimate Geo-Blocker, IP Ban & Login Security

You need a free MaxMind GeoLite2 account. 1. Sign up at MaxMind's GeoLite2 Sign Up Page. 2. Log in and navigate to "Manage License Keys". 3. Generate a new license key. 4. Copy the key and paste it into the Country Block settings. NOTE: If your key shows as invalid immediately after creation, please wait 5 minutes and try the database download again, as activation takes a moment to propagate on MaxMind's side.

Local Database (GeoLite2): Recommended for all users. It's fast, free, and provides reliable country-level blocking.

Country Block checks requests that reach WordPress. A CDN, server cache, or advanced-cache.php can serve pages before plugins run. With country rules enabled, this plugin sets DONOTCACHEPAGE and sends no-cache headers for requests it handles, but it cannot intercept existing upstream cache hits. Purge existing caches and bypass page caching for protected URLs, or apply matching country rules at your CDN. Test while logged out from both a blocked and an allowed location.
