What is the issue you’re encountering

I blocked certain continents since the videos I post don’t allow viewing. I used by vpn and changed to each respective country but I was still able to get to my landing page. Fortunately my page is locked but I need to get this rectified before I go live in a week. I’m sure it’s me and I realize if they use a vpn they can still bypass but I need something in place.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I made sure I’m using an OR statement but it looks like its and. Am I wrong? Photo uploaded

Your DNS records are not proxied so requests are going direct to Squarespace and not passing through Cloudflare…

Squarespace warn here not to use the Cloudflare proxy so you may not be able to do anything about this…

Thank you. I’m going to have to reach out to Squarespace and research other security providers like Cloudflare as I cannot go live without this provision. And yes, this was my issue which is why I initially changed it from proxy but I didn’t realize that because of that, traffic was not passing through cloudflare first (I should have read the fine line :joy:). I edited this post because I did read from Squarespace that some providers can supply code that I can add to my website’s code injection header. Can’t research this at the moment but does Cloudflare provide this kind of service as well. Thanks for this information.

SJR thank you for your site. It’s a gem. I re-proxied it back to Cloudflare and it’s showing proxied. I also removed a strange TXT from my DNS settings @ v=spf1 include:_spf.wpcloud.com ~all. After researching this I saw that it was no longer needed. I can’t tell you if this is what did it but all of a sudden when I use a vpn from Asia, my site is now blocked. Go figure. I will keep checking my site from the other countries I blocked over the next couple of weeks just to make sure it’s blocked but also to make sure that my site can be reached. Thanks again.
