內容簡介

總結：Block Website Access by Region — Lite 是一個能在網頁載入時停止來自不需要地區的流量而不會減慢您的網站速度的外掛程式。

1. 這個外掛程式有哪些功能？
- 遠端 IP 查找（ipwho.is → ipapi.co → ipinfo.io）並具有自動故障切換功能。
- 只有國家級規則，不會記錄日誌，也不會檢查美國州的狀態，也沒有 MaxMind DB。
- 可以通過常數（BSAS_DEFAULT_BODY、bsas_block_heading）自訂標題和正文文字。
- 輕量級：只有一個選項群組，沒有資料庫表格，最小限度的暫存。

2. 如果需要更詳細的日誌、州級阻擋、可視化消息編輯器或本地的 GeoLite2 資料庫，應該選擇哪個版本？
- 此外，這個外掛程式使用第三方 IP 地理位置API，以探測訪客的國家。對於每個請求，它會將訪客的 IP 地址發送到提供者並收到一個兩個字母的國家代碼和（如果可用）一個 ASN/組織字符串。Lite模式不存儲每個訪客的日誌，只保留一個短暫的暫存以減少 API 請求。
- 使用的提供者（按故障切換順序），條款和隱私：
1) IPWHOIS（端點：https://ipwho.is/）- 條款：https://ipwhois.io/terms - 隱私：https://ipwhois.io/privacy。
2) ipapi（端點：https://ipapi.co/）- 條款：https://ipapi.co/terms/ - 隱私：https://ipapi.co/privacy/。
3) IPinfo（端點：https://ipinfo.io/）- 條款：https://ipinfo.io/terms-of-service - 隱私：https://ipinfo.io/privacy-policy。

External Services
This plugin connects to external services for geolocation functionality and optional feedback collection. By using this plugin, you acknowledge that data will be sent to these third-party services.

To determine a visitor’s country, the plugin sends the visitor’s IP address to one or more of the following geolocation providers (in failover order):
ipwhois.is
* Service: IP geolocation lookup
* Data sent: Visitor IP address
* When: On each unique visitor’s first page load (cached for 24 hours)
* Terms of Service: https://ipwhois.io/terms
* Privacy Policy: https://ipwhois.io/privacy
ip-api.com

* Data sent: Visitor IP address
* When: If ipwhois.is fails
* Terms of Service: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal
* Privacy Policy: https://ip-api.com/privacy
ipapi.co
* Service: IP geolocation lookup (fallback provider)
* Data sent: Visitor IP address
* When: If previous providers fail
* Terms of Service: https://ipapi.co/terms/
* Privacy Policy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/

* Terms of Service: https://ipinfo.io/terms-of-service

2. Deactivation Feedback Service
When you deactivate the plugin, you have the option to submit feedback about why you’re deactivating. This is completely optional.
Simple tools for wp Feedback API
* Service: Plugin deactivation feedback collection
* Data sent (only if you submit feedback): Plugin slug, your site URL, deactivation reason, optional text feedback, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version
* When: Only when you voluntarily submit the deactivation survey form
* Endpoint: https://plugins-for-wp.com/wp-json/ssp-feedback/v1/submit
* Privacy: No personal data or visitor information is collected. Only technical site information and your voluntary feedback are sent.
* Purpose: To help us improve the plugin based on user feedback
3. Optional: MaxMind GeoLite2 Database
If you provide a MaxMind license key in settings, the plugin will download the GeoLite2 database to your server for local geolocation lookups, reducing external API calls.
MaxMind GeoLite2
* Service: Geolocation database download
* Data sent: Your MaxMind license key
* When: Once per week when you configure a license key
* Downloaded to: wp-content/uploads/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
* Terms: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/eula
* Privacy: https://www.maxmind.com/en/privacy-policy
Data Retention:
The plugin stores minimal data on your WordPress database: hashed IP addresses (for rate limiting), country codes, access decisions (blocked/allowed), and timestamps. You can configure automatic log cleanup in settings. The plugin does not track individual visitors or create profiles.
Privacy & Data Usage
This plugin is designed with privacy in mind:

IP addresses are hashed by default before storage
Only country codes and access decisions are logged, not full visitor profiles
Logs can be automatically cleaned up after a configurable retention period
No cookies are set on the visitor’s browser
No tracking scripts are loaded
Geolocation lookups are cached to minimize external API calls
Deactivation feedback is completely optional and only submitted if you choose to provide it

For GDPR compliance, the plugin blocks visitors from specified countries, which may reduce your data collection obligations. However, you should still review your complete privacy obligations with a legal professional.
