Admin Tools version: 2.5.5

Description of my issue:
I updated the GeoIP.dat but I can't get Geo-Blocking to work. I've checked the boxes next to the continents that should be blocked, but when tested with overseas partner, they could still see the site.Is there something more that I need to do?

Nope, that's all there is to it. Do you receive any security exceptions at all in Admin Tools? If so, do you get different IPs on each one of them? I'm trying to figure out if your server actually reports the IP to PHP...
