Block Chinese IP
Through the following two simple settings, the purpose of shielding Chinese IP can be achieved.
The plug-in provides three shielding modes:
- One is text. Write a sentence: Website is under construction, coming soon, or "website is under maintenance".
- The second is to jump to the page we built in advance, which is visually intuitive and eye-catching, and looks very formal.
- The third is to jump the website to another website, such as www.xxx.com, which will cause some trouble in SEO optimization and is not recommended.
Lao Wei recommends the second way, which is to jump to the "under construction" page we just created ourselves, which is more like that visually and easier to guide visitors away.
Select China
The last step is to select the country China that needs to block IP in the label Frontend, and save it to take effect.
Test shielding effect
At this time, exit the website background, refresh the browser, and all the pages of the website will become the image uploaded in step 2 above.

The author has something to say
Add the disadvantages and cracking methods of the iQ Block Country plug-in. The following is a summary of the experience that Lao Wei found in the use process.
1. Friends who understand a little will have a way to visit the website normally. So you, as the manager of foreign trade website, cannot open the foreground and background after you enable this plug-in. The effective solution is to use software.
2. In addition, this plug-in is only used for WordPress website building program. If you use another website building program, Lao Wei knows that some individuals provide a payment service to block Chinese people from visiting foreign trade websites, this payment service can also achieve the purpose of blocking. It will play a role when monitoring the Chinese environment such as domestic IP, Chinese operating system, Chinese browser, etc., so that domestic visitors can not see the real content of the web page. Its function is much more powerful than this wordpress plug-in. Of course, this paid service also has a solution. See the third point below.
3. Web snapshot. Baidu has a webpage snapshot, and Google also has a snapshot, through which you can see the blocked webpage content. For the iq block country plug-in, as long as you do not visit in mainland China, it is invalid. For the second point of personal payment service, the Google Snapshot method can be cracked.
Note: If your WordPress website uses such plug-ins as cache acceleration, it may conflict with the IP mask plug-in, and visitors cannot be effectively blocked. They will see the cached website pages. You can't have both fish and bear's paw. If you use the shielded IP plug-in, don't use the cache acceleration plug-in.
In any case, the WordPress plug-in in this article can block most foreign trade peers, and it is free to use. As for the drawbacks and solutions, most people are still unknown and do not understand, which can completely block most Chinese visits.
