  Hi everyone,

  My site no longer allows access to users with a Vietnam VPN. The site has been running for years, and this issue only started recently. It’s a free plan with no plugins installed.

  I suspect the problem might be related to certain keyword-blocking rules I added in the discussion section. Perhaps too many Vietnam-based VPN IPs were flagged, causing the site to automatically treat them as spam and block all Vietnam IPs?

  Or could there be another cause I’m not aware of?

  I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks a lot!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s well known Vietnam blocks WordPress.com. But now it seems they are also blocking several VPN’s. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this.
