Country Blocking not working?

[robroy101]

Have set following countries to block “RU, BR, BA, IN, JP, PL, ES, UA, BG, BY” from ISO Alpha 2 Code list.

However, still recieving 50+ emails per day like following:

“Hi-
This is Hide My WP plugin. We guess someone is researching about your WordPress site.

Here is some more details:
Visitor: 176.103.99.10
URL: http://mar**************ery.com/wp-login.php
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0

Best Regards,
Hide My WP”

IP address is from Moscow. Put your plugin in place due to brute force password guessing. wp-login redirects to “not authorized” error page but I want to block these people altogether so this stops but plugin not blocking these countries.

What is my error or is this a bug? Does new beta solve?

Please advise.

Hi, which version of HMWP are you using? Did you check with version 5.1 (beta)? Please check and let us know.

Hi Suman,
I did have the 5.0 and updated to 5.1. However, country blocking still not working and still getting many attempted hits against wp-login.php. Redirect to 404 working fine but the hits are 200 a day mostly from Russia so would like to block for sure.

Also, my wp login page changed with update the combination of blocking still not sticking caused me to revert back to older version of HMWP.

Please find attached screen shot of login page with 5.1 and normal page after reverting back to 5.01

The login page is branded with the plugin WP Branding ver 1.0.3 by Nivijah.
