Country Allow blocks everyone else. One Country Allow rule means only the allowed countries can shop. Add your own country first.
Indians abroad. With Country Allow IN, a customer travelling abroad, or using a VPN, is blocked.
Shared and changing IP addresses. Mobile operators share one IP address between many people and change addresses often. Blocking a mobile IP can block innocent shoppers; prefer short expiry times.
Block both kinds of address. To block everyone, you need two IP Block rules: 0.0.0.0/0 (IPv4) and ::/0 (IPv6). With only one, some visitors get through.
Not a complete block. A blocked visitor may still see some pages; they just can't buy, log in or search.
No message for blocked visitors. They see a store that doesn't work, not an explanation.
Delay. Changes take up to about 5 minutes.
Different from Security. The Security module's IP block list and login lockouts are separate. If you blocked an address there too, remove it there as well.
