 * Hello
    I think this plugin is useless because I can not update its IP database

 * Why can you not update the database? You have to download the file, unpack it
   and upload the mmdb file

 * Upload path is your upload folder.
 * Download url is listed when you first have to download the database or it’s in
   the installation manual [https://wordpress.org/plugins/iq-block-country/#installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/iq-block-country/#installation)
 *  Download the GeoIP2 Country database from: [http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz](http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz)
 *  Unzip the GeoIP2 database and upload the GeoLite2-Country.mmdb file to your 
   upload dir usually /wp-content/uploads/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb
 *  If you do not want to or cannot download the MaxMind GeoIP database you can 
   use the GeoIP API.
