Why Country Restriction isn't 100% accurate?

We use various data sources to identify and block unwanted traffic, including VPNs, proxies, and users from specific locations. While these tools improve accuracy, reaching 100% is impossible due to several factors:

1. Imperfect Geolocation

• IP addresses can only approximate a user’s location. Some regions are mapped accurately, while others may be less precise.

2. VPNs, Proxies, and Anonymizers

• Many users hide their true location using VPNs, proxies, or Tor. Some services are flagged, but new or private endpoints may bypass detection.

3. Shared and Dynamic IPs

• Some IPs are shared among multiple users or reassigned dynamically, so blocking them may inadvertently affect legitimate traffic.

4. Constantly Changing Internet

• IP assignments and anonymization services are continuously updated, making it impossible for any system to block all undesired traffic in real time.

Bottom line:

Blocking based on IP and location is effective as a first layer of protection, but it cannot guarantee that every unwanted visitor will be stopped. For stronger security, it works best alongside behavioral monitoring and other protective measures.
