Basic security

One of the basic requirements of me using the free ‘IP2Location’ WordPress plugin for my blog is that its authors ask for attribution, which is fair. So here it is:

I just installed and configured the country blocking plugin from https://www.ip2location.com. I found it after a quick web search led me to this page: https://blog.hubspot.com/website/wordpress-plugin-to-block-countries.

The setup procedure is pretty simple: install it from the WordPress dashboard, sign up for a free account at IP2Location to install the database and stuff, and setup the block rules for countries or IP addresses.

An AI-generated monochrome image of a 1980s home computer on fire. Now if one owned such a beast of a computer it's likely one was very serious indeed about computing. I was. One PC had a 'Matrox Millennium' graphics card with an unimaginably vast 4 megabytes of video RAM.

(I didn’t want to pay Wordfence to extend their so-far excellent monitoring and blocking service, at least not yet).

Oops, I did it again

Randolph, so long and thanks for all the fish your patience hosting my site & email over the years.

This is my blog, at a new host. Replacement pictures to come later.
