Hi @feleio ,

First of all, please confirm to enable "Block by country" at "Login form" and "Admin area" in "Back-end target settings".

back-end

And 2nd, please identify the ip address of your friend and check its country code is HK in "Search" tab.

Sometimes, IP geolocation DBs may confuse the country code.

Confused country code with the same IP
