about blocking a country by using .htaccess - .htaccess

Question

I have tried many times, I feel desperate.
I have been able to do this successfully before on Apache 2.2.
Now my environment is Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server
I go to https://www.ip2location.com/blockvisitorsbycountry.aspx to generate code
select ipv4
select China
select "Apache 2.4 .htaccess deny"
Then add the code to the bottom of .htaccess.
However, the result is that I cannot access the website whether I use a VPN or not.
I am located in China．
Later, I tried to select another one country, such as Japan, to generate new blocking code.
However, the result was the same, after adding the code into .htaccess.
I also cannot access the website, even though the blocked country is Japan and I am in China.
I doubt the code, what should I do in order to get the right blocking a country code?
Some of the generated code:
<RequireAll>
Require all granted
Require not ip 1.0.1.0/24
Require not ip 1.0.2.0/23
Require not ip 1.0.8.0/21
Require not ip 1.0.32.0/19
Require not ip 1.1.0.0/24
Require not ip 1.1.2.0/23
Require not ip 1.1.4.0/22

Answer 1

now,I have solved the problem.
first of all,
the code generated from https://www.ip2location.com/blockvisitorsbycountry.aspx is 100% correct!
the reason why I cannot access the website whether using VPN or not,is that I didnot add the following code to yourdomain.conf to make https(ssl) url also support rewrite.
<VirtualHost *:443>
.......
<Directory "/var/www/html/yourdomainname/public_html">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Another solution using GeoIP and .htaccess
I have hostinger server
To enable GeoIP, all you have to do is add the following line to your .htaccess file:
GeoIPEnable On
Once added, you can verify if it's working by creating a PHP Info file and checking the PHP Variables section:
Image showing GeoIP is enabled in your server
How to use it?
To block access for perticular file in Britain, US and India:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} !^(GB|US|IN)$
RewriteRule (wp-login|xmlrpc).php$ - [F,L]
To allow access for whole website in Canada, UAE and India:
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^(CA|AE|IN)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L,QSA]
