Blocking United States

    Hi Pascal,
    Love the plugin. Never had any issues until today.
    It’s blocking me. I’m in the United States. I checked both a desktop as well as mobile and both are shutting me out.
    I can log-in and I did and I shut down the plugin. I can get to my site now but nothing is blocked.

    I don’t see anyone else here reporting this so it may be something on my site but I’ve not changed anything in the last few hours and I could access it earlier today.

    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Do you use a caching plugin?

    Yes. I use W3 Total Cache
    https://www.w3-edge.com/products/w3-total-cache

    I thought that may be the problem so, yesterday, I shut off IQ Block, cleared cache, turned IQ Block back on and was still met with the “Visitors from your country…” message.

    In that case W3 Total Cache does not honor the HTTP headers that say DO NOT CACHE THIS PAGE.

    So you either have to choose between caching or blocking.

    My traffic dropped off a cliff on Sept 10, 2015. Not sure if wordpress updated something or if IQ Block Country or Google did, but something changed and I went from 50 visitors a day to 3.

    For the past two weeks I couldn’t figure out the cause, but then I tried accessing my site from IE (I primarily use Chrome & Firefox) and got a message saying my country isn’t allowed to visit my site. The U.S. is not selected as a blocked country and I haven’t made changes to the plug in in six months, so I’m not sure what caused this. I turned off Front End blocking and now IE can access my site again.

    Please let me know if/when this is resiolved so I can turn IQ Block back on. Thanks.
