 * yes we have been working on a solution for this with them. It should drop tomorrow.
 * please note if you use the default override of REMOTE_ADDR you won’t be affected
   by this issue. Only people behind a proxy or cache and choose a different override
   or mo override can be affected.

 * Hi,
   Normally not as I think Google mainly uses US based IP addresses. However
   on the services page you can select which Search engines and other services you
   want to allow despite blocking a country.

 * Hi,
 * It probably should be enough to only block your payment / checkout page.
   In principle
   if you block the frontend it blocks all of your frontend pages. If you want to
   fine tune this you can only block certain pages, or only certain categories for
   blog posts.

 * Hi,
   Thank you for the report. I cannot reproduce this on either PHP 8.2 or PHP
   8.4 myself either by checking myself or with the Sucuri tool. In all cases I 
   properly get a 403 HTTP error.Either way checking if it’s set is never a bad 
   thing so I’ll include it in the next update.

 * That really depends. If you redirect the blocked users to a page with a lot of
   images and stuff it will be exactly the payload of that page. If you just have
   them shown a short message the payload is just a few bytes + the necessary headers.

 * It does not force you to buy data from us. You’re free to use the MaxMind database
   and download it yourself. If you do not want to do this we offer the ability 
   to use our API.

 * Alrighty then, my bad for using a function that is only available in PHP 8.x
 * Although anyone still running stuff on PHP 7 (or prior) should really look into
   this as any version of PHP below 8.1 isn’t getting security updates anymore. 
   For instance in the case of PHP 7.4 it hasn’t been supported anymore on security
   fixes since 2023 (so over 2.5 years now).

 * Hi,
 * That’s really a question for MaxMind who’s free database you use. Satellite providers
   should be any satellite provider that doesn’t provide localization. As far as
   I am aware fi the ip addresses that Starlink hands out can be recognized towards
   a country.
 * In general this should be categories that cannot be linked to a specific country.

 * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-allow-starlink-to-access-admin/#post-18429266)
 * Hi,
 * I am not familiar with the Starlink specifics. I’d reckon MaxMind doesn’t allocate
   countries to Starlink IP addresses. You could add a range to the allow list.
   
   Like for instance if your customer is always in the same range of a.b.c.X where
   only the X varies you could add a.b.c.0/24
 * I don’t know how accurate this list is but I found this:
