 * Hi vedsegaard,
 * Thanks for your reporting.
 * When someone try to login from the permitted country and the number of fails 
   reaches “**Max number of failed login attempts per IP address**“, that permitted
   country appears to “**Blocked by countries**“.
 * This is the specification. I think you can find “failed” in the “**Login form**”
   on “**Logs**” tab. Could you check it?
 * I’m afraid that you missed to find it because the number of logs in each end 
   point (e.g. Comment post, XML-RPC, Login form, Admin area) is limited to 100.
   So I recommend you to backup your logs into some files using custom filter hook`
   ip-geo-block-backup-dir`. Please refer to [this document](http://www.ipgeoblock.com/codex/ip-geo-block-backup-dir.html).
 * Thanks.

 * Its not a big problem, just show wrong information, rigth now (I did reset it
   yesterday) there is 66 blocked IPs.
    CN= 62% US= 16,7% and more, but DK 7,5% 
   is wrong, none are blocked from DK, but 7,5% logins are correct.
 * The plug-in function wery well, and block all I want to be blocked, that is every
   thing that dosent come from Scandinavia.
    Så CN, US, FR ect. is all blocked.
 * The string GET[80]:/wp-login.php are most common used in the block list.

 * Thank you for your detailed explanation.
 * You mean that you want to block other than Scandinavia e.g. Sweden(SE), Norway(
   NO) and Denmark(DK). But you found DK in “**Blocked by country**” while you could
   not find DK in “**Login form**” on “**Logs**” tab.
 * Mmm… Unfortunately I have not found a bug until now. But I’d keep inspecting 
   my code.
 * I appreciate your tolerance.
    Thanks again.

 * Well, its not a really bug, the plugin function wery good.
    The data for DK, 
   is not blocked, and thats correct, but its not what it says.

 * Thank you so much for your capturing the chart.
    I agree with you that the blocking
   functionality itself is OK, but saving data for chart or something may not be
   implemented properly.
 * I keep going on this topic.

 * Hello [@vedsegaard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vedsegaard/),
 * Sorry but I’ve not found the cause and solution yet. I just came back to this
   thread as a reminder to myself.
 * Thanks.
