IP Geo Blocker - Free country blocker // Need feedback / beta testers

Hi there,

I've been silent for quite some time now. Some of you may remember my (infamous) IPGB - IP Geo Blocker addon that was on the store for a short while.

It was eventually taken down due to some coding issues on my behalf (it was my first big project). These were mostly caused by adding GUI and database stuff to make it worthy to even sell on here. So after it was taken down I quickly made a lite version without all that problematic features, basically just the functional core and some quality-of-life features.

Recently a user added me to ask me about some features, until then I pretty much forgot this still existed. Since I was on lockdown, I decided I might as well re-continue it.

To my surprise, it was still mostly functional, but had some bugs and issues. I fixed those issues, removed unnecessary stuff and improved/added some minor functions.

I'm posting this here now due to 2 reasons:

1) I need beta testers who might need this and are willing to try out the beta version on their server (I couldn't find any issues so far). I'm thinking about making a workshop version of this, depending on the feedback.

2) I'd be happy about some constructive feedback on the coding site, I haven't really done that much lua since and I never was an expert, so anything that might help me improve is highly appreciated :)

Here are some details:

No promises, don't expect too much, but it can be quite handy, especially for European (roleplay) servers, to avoid trolls.

Thanks for reading, any answer is appreciated.
