## Buyer FAQ

**What happens if Epic Geo Blocker cannot detect a visitor's country?**
If country detection fails or returns no country code, the plugin allows the request instead of blocking by guesswork. This keeps the product positioned as a practical country-rule tool, not a promise of perfect geolocation enforcement or WAF-style protection.

**Can site owners lock themselves out of WordPress admin?**
The storefront copy should explain that source-coded bypasses skip WordPress admin screens, AJAX requests, and logged-in users before front-end blocking runs. Owners should still use the Live test panel and staged rules before relying on a new blocklist or allowlist.

**Who is responsible for choosing which countries to allow or block?**
The buyer remains responsible for their own regional access policy and obligations. Epic Geo Blocker provides blocklist/allowlist controls, a 403 visitor message, recent blocked-request evidence, and CSV exports; it should not be described as legal/compliance automation, a firewall, or a fraud-screening replacement.
