 * Hello and thank you for your great plugin. We were saturated with so many card
   testing attempts that our credit card provider block our merchant access, then
   I installed your plugin 2 months ago, set it up in a few minutes and have had
   none at all since.
   I have 2 questions about refining settings though. Presently
   I have all countries blocked except my own (we only sell here in Australia).But,
   if all we need to do is stop card testing, can I simply open up to all countries
   to see home page and information pages but then block all other country access
   to ‘shop’ and ‘payment’ pages? I can see how to block all but a few countries
   and I can see how to block certain pages. But I do not see how the two different
   blocks work together.So…Question 1. Do you think blocking only shop and payment
   pages enough to stop card testing?Question 2. Can Frontend and Backend blocks/
   allows work in conjunction with Pages or is it either one or the other?
 * Thanks
 * Chris
