Thanks for the reminder. I use an IP2Location-based plugin on another CMS site but hadn't checked for a version of it for this Forum package. There was one so it is now active here and will make it easier to control access from unexpected countries.
The banned countries list will change over time based on unusual traffic and hacking attempts.
Thanks, Admin
PS : I am not against amateur radio operators in other countries registering and utilising the forum. It seems that the majority of hacking attempts have come from the areas listed in an earlier post but I will ban whole countries if only to stop just one hacker from that area.
If you feel you are being unfairly restricted from accessing the Forum, email directly to the earlier address.
