Hi @amavarick ,

Thank you for the information about your settings. I checked the codes in Easy Updates Manager and found there are 2 types of ajax request to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. One uses jQuery and another uses browser's native function XMLHttpRequest().

And unfortunately, "Prevent Zero-day Exploit" can not be supported for the later one. So please select some actions to exclude the target of ZEP at "Admin ajax/post" in "Back-end target settings" section like following:

Even if you specify the above, those actions requested from blacklisted countries are still blocked because you also enable "Block by country".

I hope this may solve the issue. Thanks.
